Michelin XPS ribs on fiver and truck?
We have Goodyear 235/85/R16 tires. G rated with 7,000 lb axles. We are looking at replacing them with Michelin XPS ribs. Are there any issues we need to consider before making this purchase? Unfortuna...

I'm not aware of a 16" G-rated Michelin. The next step up would be the 17.5" Michelin XTA in size 215/75R17.5 rated 4805 lbs @ 120 PSIG. I changed out the OEM 16" Goodyear G614 RSTs on our previous Mobile Suites to 17.5" Michelin XTAs and never had a problem with the Michelins. Our current Mobile Suites came with 215/75R17.5 Goodyear G114s that are also rated 4805 lbs @ 120 PSIG, and they've been trouble free for the 2 years we've owned them.
