The general concensus is that radial tires are the way to go, IIRC
Dunlop "Rovers" seem to be the current favorite. The proper sizes
don't have P code, they're still listed as something like 10.5x31.
The narrowest I've found listed were something like 8.5, although I've
heard there may be a 7.5 " bias ply "snowplow" tire available
(Firestone?). If you want to stay with the NDTs they're available
from Coker Tire, & the current US goverment supplier for NDTs (has a
name that starts with "T" but thats all I can remember :( ) seems to
have local dealers all over the place for thier main line which is
heavy equipment tires. Check around, ya might get lucky :).
