Thanks for all the great advice and experiance, the trip to the scales will get done as soon as i get back from offshore ~ 16 days. a TPMS is on my menu, and I had just aired them tires up to #5 psi less than the tire max of 80 psi. I'll post back the RV weight when i get back in town, and update.

You don't need a higher rated tire, as the E-rated are sufficient. You do need to air them to the full 80 psi, for cooler running temps, and to make full use of the tires load capability.

A quality LT tire will also work. Just remember, to get the max load rating, requires max inflation.
