For tires, I've been very pleased with the Sumitomo's, but I'd also use firestone, bridgestone, continentals, etc....there's many good brands out there.
If the old tires are good enough to get you home, consider loading like for a trip and getting 4 corner weights to see if the current tire size is adequate. Sometimes one corner is much heavier and the originally spec'd tire on that corner is running right at or beyond its load limit. Since you're about to buy tires, it is the ideal time to correct that situation.
To get it home without listening to the jacks down warning, you can find and pull the fuse to the jack system.
Since you have a Freightliner chassis, you can get some great free help when you have chassis problems or questions. Freightliner maintains a helpdesk that will provide assistance at no charge. Have the last 6 digits of your VIN number handy when you call them. The Freightliner help desk phone number is
1-800-FTL-HELP (1-800-385-4357. I've also purchased parts from them.
Good luck and have fun with your new motorhome.

Thank you. Good info.
I have used Eshocks before, but I just don't know what size shocks or how to find out.
I will drive it home Wed. It will be a long trip to Jax and I dont want to take I75. I may cut up threw the Forest.
I will not be able to weigh it. What tire range would be safe to just go with?
Thank you again for this info. I called and found stock tires are 235/80-22.5. Load G
But all I have is a FL part number for the shocks.
I tried the front part number on Koni site and did not work.
So, anyone with shock advice or how to cross reference 16-14667-000?
