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...

I see people put LT265/75R16E on GM 6.5" wide rims all the time and that is out of spec. You can really see the side wall roll into the bead.
R250's on a 6" wide rim will be 100 times better than any current ST tire available.
If you have 33" or more center to center on your axles, then get the 235/85R16E's.

Isn’t it contrary to the tire and rim manufacturers’ recommendations to install tires with a 6 and ½” minimum rim width on a 6” wide rim?
IMO only a vehicle manufacturer can take on such a responsibility.
