For the OP, please try and ignore all of the tire police nonsense being thrown around. It is being used to attempt to bully the uninformed into putting the same low end tire back on their RV. I guess you could call that Marketing.
There are no laws stating what type of tire an individual can or cannot install on their RV. The only requirement is that their capacity must equal or exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating(GAWR).

From looking at what rig you list in your profile, I would bet that the 16" LT tires are a perfect fit.
