Mixing Load Range Tires

I have 245/75 19.5 tires on a Class A motorhome.....I have one tire G rated and the other 5 are F rated....is that a big deal?

  • Yeah it can be a very big deal in a hard braking event (braking imbalance) especially on wet pavement. The tire on one end of a axle can have different traction for several reasons ie; different tread pattern......different load ranges (psi)....different tire sizes.....different tire types.
    This is the 5th wheel trailer forum so I assume your talking about a trailer although its rare to find a 19.5" tire on a rv trailer.
  • As long as the steering tires are the same, I don't think a big deal. Only you know how it handles. I don't think you'd notice the difference if used on rear.
