Good day to all fellow RV members. I'm new to the forum and forgive me.
I inherited an RV (1987 Itasca on a Chevy Van 30 chassis). It's currently riding on 16.5 rims/tires (8.75R16.5 LT BFG commercial tires). Dually in rear. I just made this discovery after taking it to Les Schwab. 16.5 is hard to come by. Local shops in Oregon can't help me. Can anyone suggest a solution? Should I purchase the Firestone Transforce 16.5 from Walmart? Or should I try to get 16" Dually wheels and somehow have all 7 tires mounted on Duallys? But here's another concern. Is it possible to install Dually Rim/wheel in the front?

Onc again - apologies in advance. I read another post about 16.5 tires but wasn't able to find that post again. Hence this new tread/post.

Any help for this new RVer is much appreciated. Thank you!

Size not withstanding, the TransForce that I have on now, are a far better tire than the Michelins that came on it new, better ride, longer wear, and virtually NO weather checking, which can't be said for the Michelins that cracked severely in 3 years.
