I have a 2010 Montana 3400RL with a total (ship+max carrying-tongue)weight of 13540 pounds and have been using GY Marathons 235/80R16 and blowing out tires and damaging sides of RV. I would like to upgrade to a better tire ( maybe a G rated tire or an LT tire but do not know which. Also how can I find out what pressure my rims will take in the tires. Montana will not tell me the pressure rating of my RIMS.

I "think" you're saying the GVW of your 5er is 13,540? If so, you probably have 6,000# rated axles....Believe a G rated tire might be over kill, but your call...I had a Coachmen with 6,000# rated axles and went with Michelin XPS RIBS, they are very expensive, but well worth the money/peace of mind...Also highly recommended is the Bridgestone Duravis...just had a brain toot and can't remember the model number, but "think" it's the R500...seem to be as good as the RIBS, but cost less....

I'd go with an "E" weight tire if the GVW of your 5er is only 13,540#. Odds are very good, at the very least, your rims will take 80 psi.....
