I searched tires and looked thru 200 plus posts. Class C GVWR 11,500 on LT 215/85/R16 tires as called for in the mfg. spec sheet. I need to replace as they are 5 years old. I have a feel from reading the posts about some tires better reputation than others, but how about the ride and handling aspect. Do some brands have a better reputation in that area than others?? Thanks

Get ready for a ton of answers that'll take a long time to read. I won't say anything other than Michelin is a popular brand and costly. I put on the best tire money can buy since my family is riding on them. Good luck.

I'll be watching this one closely. I'll be replacing my Toyos next year. The Toyo open country's have been fine but always watching to see what people are putting on.

I would actually recommend the Toyos.Have had them on SUV's and Class A motorhome. Very satisfied customer.

Carlisle. For extended storage I jack the trailer up to get the weight off the tires. You know, so they are round during storage.

I took Michelin's off our Southwind and replaced them with Hankook.
I like the Hankook tires better, I would buy them again.
