Wheel size upgrade.
My (new/old) 79 Holiday Rambler 27 is still sitting on 16.5 bias ply tires (all 6 less than a year old). I intend to budget for 6 radial tires to replace them (better ride and improve fuel economy). ...

Good point on the 17" Brian (I think I knew that had I thought more). Springs and chassis become the limit. 16s are much easier to come by than 17s (on the road).
Pretty sure I can get some factory wheels off a newer E350 that originally used radials. I will be researching this more. I have no intention of keeping the 16.5s. I'd wager that you can't walk into 1 in 10 tire stores and buy 16.5s in stock which is exactly (you know) what will happen with a tire failure on the road.
