Once you are set up for a trip: People, supplies, equipment, fuel... Go weigh the coach at a truck stop (politically correct term is Travel Center). Adjust tire pressure to match load using Michelin's RV Tire Chart. Bear in mind those weights are individual corners so half the scale weight or double the corner weight, then set the pressure. New tires, new Michelins, no doubt MS/2's, no worries. IF it turns out you're very close to max axle loads (see door sticker, should be 5000-Front, 9500-Rear), then on replacement, I might do an upgrade to a higher line tire in the same size like Michelin XPS Rib or Bridgestone Duravis R250.
IF you have a spare, I'd suggest rotating it with the two front tires. Leave the rears in place.
What do you have for Valve Stems? The BORG (Dually Valve) or Tire-Man is the way to go with rears. For Front and Spare, just be sure they're all-metal (fastened with a nut) and at least 2" long, 2-1/2" better.
