Chevy should have stuck a label inside the driver's door frame. Should show the tire size, and also a date of manufacture. To be a "1985" it would probably have to be built in AUG84 or later. If it's FEB84, NOV83, and so on, then it's a 1984 chassis year. The manufacturer of the RV designates the model year, so your 1985 could be on a 1985 chassis for sure, but many are on a model year earlier.
The Date Code is the last four digits of a long string of characters beginning in "DOT." Those four are "branded" at the end of that string. The others look more "molded in." It's four characters WWYY, where Week is 01-52, and YY is last two digits of the production year, so 2515 would be mid-year 2015. It only appears on ONE place on the tire.
Firestone offers its Transforce HT Load Range E in 8.75R16.5 for about $150 a tire.
When we get the actual size, hopefully 16" and NOT 16.5, things'll get clearer.
