They are probably passenfer tires ('P' before the size designation).
If using passenger tires in a truck application, you have to reduce the load index by 10%
So for a 1500 lb rated passenger tire on a truck, the rating is actually 1350lbs

If using passenger tires, I'd say use the 215/70-14 size with a load index of 96.
look for 2-ply sidewalls, 4 ply tread, and max psi of 44.
Some Coopers have this, also I believe the Sears Response 2000XL.
But they aren't that
cheap.
