245/70-19.5 tires are only found at tire warehouses not at the dealers. 6.75 x 19.5 10 bolt rims are almost impossible to find except from Ford. The first thing the operator at roadside service company ask when you tell them you have a flat tire is: " Do you have a serviceable, mounted spare tire?" Two of the flats I have had in my 240,000 miles of traveling in an RV where the side wall was ripped open and there was not repairable. It is one thing to wait for 4 hours for someone to come out and change a tire as opposed weighting 4 days for someone to find a tire that will fit and replace it.
