FWIW. I love my 9R tires. 
  I dont use GY on anything anymore. 

What size did you end up going with?  Are you saying they handle better than the original metric tires?

I put toyo 295/75 22.5 all around a few years ago.

COMPLETELY different chassis, wheels and OE tires.

Michelin 255/80R22.5 fits on the OE 6.75" wheels. I do not know if this is the wheels on the Oshkosh chassis, but was used on several other Foretravel models with 9R22.5 tires.  If 7.5" rims, then the 265's in many brands are a good option.

Don't know about the 265/75R22.5 in other brands. The 6.75" rim is not recommended.

I have 7.5 rims
 The 9r can run at 95-98# and drive better than the 295/75/22.5 due to the required pressure of 75# , plus the additional weight of the larger amount of rubber and belts.
  I will sell the rear tires later this year and get either the 9R or similar G load tires.
