Tire Swap
Looking at changing my 235/80 16E tires for a set of 245/75 16E Michelin Ribs on my 5th wheel. For those that have done it, anything I should be concerned about with the very slight difference in size...

Just noticed a problem!!! I have 6" wide rims and the specs for the 245/75 16 Bridgestones require a 6.5" - 8" rim.:h
Yeah. I think I'm good. Here are my rims.
My Rims
Update: Just chatted with tire rack and they tell me the 245s don't have enough flex to mount correctly on a 6" rim.
Has anyone actually done it? I could go with 215/85s. A little narrower but they will fit 6" rims.
