Full DOT serial would be of help and a good start. Did the pictured tire "fail" If so do you have other pictures?

Is that a steel bodied tire?


LR-F means you will need to run 95 psi to get the LR-F load capacity. Are the wheels rated for 95?

There are a lot of ST tire builders building that size steel cased tire. Probably the most recognizable brand name is Carlisle.

Hercules has a few Commercial grade ST tires.
One 15" and 3 16" worth considering
