SE MN

For example, from Firestones table C2, a VF750/65R26 (30" wide tire) would require 13.1 PSI at 9350 lbs. This is a much much narrower tire than an 1100, but only 1 psi higher pressure required than the LSW.

For the rear tire, from table C, an IF850/75R42 would require 10.5 psi at 12300 lbs.  Only a 33" wide tire.    Narrower than the LSW, and lower required pressure.  I didn't see a VF tire near this size in table C or C2.

Not sure if the OD of these tires works for you.  Perhaps other companies (Firestone is not the only VF tire mfg) might have a taller VF tire that works for you, allowing an even narrower tire on the rear.
