6 cord of oak weighs close to 30k. If you did in fact have that much woods in the truck/trailer, I wouldn't blame the tires one bit.

Died oak weight is aound 18k per cord

What is 'died oak'?
Is it dyed a certain color, or has it been dead for a while?
If it's the later, then typical seasoned wood is still 20% moisture by weight and has a density of 42-47 lbs/ft^3. Cord is 128 cubic feet so 5376-6016 lb/cord. Assuming 30% of volume is lost to airspace and you are at 3763-4211lb/cord.
6 cords of said wood would come out to 22578-25266 lbs.
So you have between 11 and 13 tons of wood. This is commonly known as a metric chit ton. A trailer capable of hauling this weight is going to be upwards of 7k curb weight. Add a conservative 8k for the truck, and well holy chit you are at 37-41k combined weight. Sure hope your class A is up to date.
Unless your eye-crometer is better calibrated than mine, you are going to have some serious tongue weight here. Not the tires fault they are bulging.

Apologize for the derail Joe.

Are these 35 or 37 that you run? I just don't want to have to buy a set of 16.5 wheels.

Dropping off another set of 16.5 wheels to get powder coated black for these to be mounted on...

But if I get this IH pickup I will throw a set on it for sure!

Truck looks good! I've been looking at Bronco's, seen one with 9" lift, 6" Suspension, 3" of body running 39's. Was wondering if I lost the 3" body lift and dropped it down if the 37" military tires would fit and look good.
You said 16.5" rims are heard to find in 5 lug, I believe I saw a Bronco ad a while back that he swapped the axles for F250 8 lugs. Honestly don't know what's all involved with that, but would be pretty cool IMO.

Saw this at Academy, thought it was the coolest truck I've seen in a while.

I don't know what tires he's running, but if your IH truck is like this, I look forward to the pics.

CSIPSD · Mar 18, 2014

That thing is cool! The one I am getting is a flat bed...

CSIPSD · Mar 19, 2014

2000 miles and the nubs are still visible...

Love the look and ride of these.

Enoch · Mar 21, 2014

If I ever get a 4x4 or an Excursion I'd definitely like to be running these as well. They look great on your F250.\

And the IH truck looks super clean.
