hello

I have a 06 cardinal 33le with alco #6000 pound axles(6 lug hubs) with a gvwr of 13990.

Done had about 10 tires failures since new!!!
I've had enough...lol
Tag says it should have lt235/85r16/e, but when I bought it it had st235/80r/e and never noticed what it had on tag till now!!!!

Do I need to upgrade the drum hubs to 8 lug and 17.5 rims with Goodyear G114 21575R17.5???

Or just stay with the 16in rims and go with the goodyear lt235/85/r16 g614 rst??? (current 16 in rims are only rated for 80 psi)

Im gonna try and go weigh the rig this week to give me a better idea of where I stand as far as the weight goes, but im almost sure that its an overweight problem causing my failures!!

We really love the rv and don't want to get rid of it!!!!
That's the only reason its not sitting at a dealer lot right now..lol

any input would help

thanks in advance,
Dustin

Dustin, I have an issue with Keystone in that it sounds like it left the factory with wrong tires OR a wrong tag (lots of RV recalls lately for wrong tags), AND every tire shop that installed the 10 new tires you've had to buy. They are =supposed= to only install what's on the mfr's tag =unless= it's a higher-rated tire. Weigh your rig before deciding what to do, though I suspect that the 17.5" wheels/tires will solve most of your problems. If you're really anal, double-check the alignment of the axles, too.
