Funny, one of the strengths of the commercial Michelins is the sidewall. Our vehicles manage 85,000 to 100,000 on the Michelins . They even can be run flat a mile or two without destroying the sidewall bead. Tire size would be 11x 24.5 tubeless XZT 16 ply. To someone having tire problems try upgrading on the ply rating. Just my 2 cents ! Flats suck !!! Check air pressure every day COLD before starting travel .
