Default 1966 1500 Tire options (Temporary)

New to the forum I bought a 1966 1500 wide side and was excited to learn it luckily had the rare buddy seat option..

It will be a while until it gets back on the road but I need to put back tires on it that actually hold air... I don't know what the direction will be on restoration at this point and I don't necessarily want to invest in tires just to have them sit for months.

My idea was to go to one of the many used tire shops in Vegas and I can get a tire that I can at least roll the truck around on... $40 mounted. Then in a few months if I want to change out rims and tires I am not limited in my choices.

3 of the 4 tires are 245/75/16 and one of the rear tires is 225/75/16...2 are LT, 2 are A/T... but again this is purely very temporary...

I assume the 245 is what I want on the back to match the front... my question is really about what kind of load range I need to find based on the vehicle weight....

Any insight would be appreciated
