Adequately load-rated tyres for BT-50

Here's a situation to get tyre experts thinking.

Having worn the original 235/75 R15 Michelins supplied with my BT-50 down to slicks, it recently became necessary to replace them. Although the Michys had been very good, durable tyres, I hesitated at the cost of new ones. My local small-town dealer supplied me with cheap Chinese Wanli Tirestars for $150 each. They look OK with a good-looking tread pattern, and I was told should deliver at least 40000km. Not what I got out of the Michelins, but the relative price made them sound like short-term value. I have been driving around on them for the past couple of months, and while I haven't had to put them under any real stress they have performed without any problem.

HOWEVER . . . after hearing a story about non-paying insurance and incorrect tyre load rating it finally occurred to me to check what I had gotten myself in for. Sure enough, while the BT requires a 109 load rated tyre, these 6 ply Wanlis are only rated at 104, which I am told, means that my vehicle is unroadworthy. I dropped in to the dealer on Friday who said he will would trade the Wanlis in on something appropriate, and will get back to me next week on what can be done.

Therefore in the meantime I am looking for any recommendations on tyres which will do a good job at a reasonable price. I know you get what you pay for, but perhaps some reasonable-quality makes may not have as large an advertising budget to support as others. Perhaps someone may also have feedback on recommended load ratings and how accurately they describe the vehicle's requirements.

All guidance will be greatly appreciated, as I will no doubt need as much knowledge as possible to match what the dealer will tell me next week.

Thanks
