I don't want to know what fits or doesn't fit, what's better than what, or any of that garbage.

Please let me know what make, model and size tires you have on your 80.

I'd like to gather some numbers to enlighten myself.

If you run multiple sets (i.e. one set for around town and one set for trail, please indicate which set of tires is for which purpose).

Thanks.

OEM Michelin LTX 275-70-16 on OEM alloys x5 for long road trips. This is a tire that can not be beat for an 80 operated as a long distance hiway vehicle.

Goodyear Wrangler MT (original Mil-spec directional tread, since replaced by the non-directional MT-R) 305-70-16 on OEM steels x10 (two sets) for around town.....
