Yes, the Hankooks were the exactly same size as the OEM Goodyears, 245/70R19.5, and they are on the duelies.
The rim width was fine for this tire and I've weighed the RV, front and back.
One possible issue is that these were made in China, date code Feb 2013. If Hankook switched the factory that made this size tire, perhaps the new ones have problems older ones did not.
Your Itasca probably weighs close to my Itasca 30B with the motorcycle on a rack on the back, so I'll try the lower pressure. I check the tires often with an IR thermometer (between the treads) so I'll know if heat build up is an issue.
Dave, did you notice if it felt bad at 100 psi?
Thanks to all for the feedback. I'd hate to drive another 40k miles with it feeling squirmy like it does now.
