Tires one more time

I know this topic comes around frequently, but I just did searches and couldn't find specific information. Very soon I'll be replacing tires on a 12,000lb, 36 foot 5er with 16 inch wheels. I'm a Michelin guy on my cars/pickups, but not sure about the 5er. I will gladly spend the money for the best tire available. Which tire would you recommend?

XPS Ribs are fine tires but they are LT tires and only come in 85 aspect ratio as opposed to the 80 series tires you are most likely replacing. The 235/85R16 have a diameter of 32" whereas the 235/80R16 tires you are most likely replacing would average 30.8". Just make sure you have an extra half inch of top clearance to spare to your wheel well and an extra inch between the tires.

My first vehicle was a 1965 Honda CB160. Loved that motorcycle.
