bias ply tire

Weight doesn't say.
I believe they are a bias ply tire

Based on your rim size and there being 5" of side wall I would use the QTP it will give you the best and most even contact patch if there are aired properly! Also once the tire stands up it will pull the section width in and use all the 8" of tread on the ground.

Some tire manufactures use measurement on the inside if the tire and some on the outside. Example: M&H tire reads on the side 25/8.7/13 but show on a tape measure 10" wide contact patch!
