If you don’t need off road tires there are some other options:
The Firestone Transforce are still out there new in 9.50x16.5 as of today at about $170 a tire.

STA - Specialty Tire of America also has some more vintage sizes.

There’s also a tire called “Power King” that pops up online in the 16.5 diameter. It says it’s an all-season radial, but it sure looks like a trailer tire to me.

Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into the ford 16's.

Pay attention when you’re buying them. Some of the E350 vans didn’t come with hubcaps, and the steel rims don’t have the nubs stamped in them to retain hubcaps. If you want to run original Chev/GMC caps you what the rims with the hubcap nubs

I've run Power King's- they're decent and wear well and had them last quite a long time. They're not just trailer tires. At least the set I had was still made in the USA too.
