What tires for my E-150 Chateau?
I have a 2005 E-150 Club Wagon Chateau 5.4L V8 Auto.
The current tires are no longer being made by Michelin:
They are P235/70 R16 LTX M/S
Other tires are available, but apparently the load factor is wrong.
I believe the Chateau requires a load factor of 107.
When I select other tires the same size/load factor from eBay for example, it shows as not compatible with my van.
Costco also has no tires that will fit it, suggesting I go to Discount Tire.
What are you using? Is the an official Ford recommendation?

I live in Texas so don't think I need Winter tires - also, I was looking for LT235/70R16 with a load factor of 107 or higher.

Will they still fit on the same rims ?
P235/70 R16 are not available with the correct load rating.
Resolution. I found some Hankook Tires online that met the size and load requirements.
Perhaps in the future Michelin will make them again or else I will go with a different size - thanks for the comments.
