Anywhere that sell LT (light truck tires) in Load Range E.
Fed DOT E range is what ypu are looking for.
Many brands.
Some people have their preference over others just like ice cream or cake.
Do an internet search and see how to read the codes on the tires. That will tell you when they were made. Most RV tires do not ware out they time out. Usually years max. Look for sidewall cracking.
Also read the PSI recommendations.
They are the SAME for all Load range E tires.
PSI should be set based on the weight they carry.
80 SPI is MAX and is not the normal PSI.
Added info:
Tire pressure info with axle ratings
Using Tire chart:
225/75/16E
65 PSI Single (Front) equates to the GAWR of the 4600# front axle E450 used through 2007 (chassis year)
and
75PSI works out to GAWR of the 5000# axle used from 2008 up.
PSI chart has:
Single
60 PSI for single = 2190 lbs
65 PSI for single = 2335 lbs – max 4600 lb. Axle for our year E450
Duel = axle lbs
70 PSI for Duels = 4440 lbs
75 PSI for Duels = 4660 lbs
80 PSI for Duels = 4940 lbs
Hope this helps.
