Ply ratings of tires
I have a 1994 Fleetwood 30 foot P30 motorhome. It has 8r 19.5 tires on it and I need to replace them. I found a great buy on some 225 70R 19.5 tires but they are 10 ply tires? Has anyone ran any 10...

Two concerns: I have a 1997 P30 chassis. I recently replaced the 6 tires with 22570R19.5 LRF. Max. load at 95PSI. Weighed the vehicle and find, allowing about 5% safety margin, 75PSI front/rear is a good pressure for me.
Don't like to have tires that I need to keep at, or near the max. PSI.
Don't know what max PSI/max load rating is for 10PR tires, but you may find you need to constantly run at max. to carry your MH.
Also, I would strongly consider replacing those narrow 8R19.5's with the 22570R19.5's. In most cases cost is almost identical, but you will like the look and feel of driving on the low-profile, wider tire.
Finally, be careful of Chinese-made tires.
My recommendation, and have bought 2 sets of tires thru them in last 90 days, is simpletire.com. Very professional, excellent service.
Good luck.
