How did the search for ST185/80 tires work out?
I'm a 2008 Jayco 17 HTT. OEM tires are ST185/80D13, inflated to 65 lbs. They are impossible to find in stock. The R13 version load rating is C, under 1,500 lbs. The R13 version is too weak to last and almost impossible to find on the road.
I'm looking at change to the commonly available ST205/75 14", though the Radial of that carries less weight than the OEM, it is a whole lot more than the ST185/80R13 carries. Both the 13" and 14" wheels have 5 lug patterns, so I'm hoping the change will be direct and I can measure the clearance before and after.
