6 x $204 for $1294 installed.

Ahhhhhh... The camper has new shoes! 6 for $1382.
(Yes, they were CV commercial.)

BUT... I put my TPMS on when I got home and all read 80+psi. I've been running 65 on the fronts and 60 on all 4 rear tires, just like the RV sticker says. I found a chart for the commercial tires and used it. 4600# on the front and 8400# on the rear. I'm thinking 65psi all around.





This might get you close to the chart

Edit: Hmmm, bad link. I'll see if I can find the correct link.

Fixed it?

Thanks, Phil

Thanks. I will ask about the commercial tires.

It's 31ft and 13400#.

Ive had Transforce tires on my truck for a couple of years with no issues. I like that there are Firestone dealers nationwide

You want all your valve stems replaced, especially if you’re worried about tires that are less than 10 years old.
But I also don’t understand the point of your post?

And yeah I wouldn’t put those lighter duty tires on it either. For multiple reasons.

How long is your RV? What is the weight?
Not sure if you bought these already or not.

On my 30' or larger RVs I upgraded my tires to Commercial load (121) to give 500lbs of extra weight carrying buffer per tire (2000lb total). I find the E-rated tires do not have enough carrying capacity buffer for my comfort level.

Note: You should never overload your axle. But all else being equal, Commercial rated (121) tires can more easily carry the load and therefore I feel they are less likely to have a blowout.

Safe travels!
