Tire suggestions for 25' coach

We're hopefully picking up a 97 Allegro 25' motorhome tomorrow. I believe it is going to need tires. Have had 2 coaches with 19.5" tires, and ran Michelin XZ series on those. This has 16" tires, and I'd prefer to go with Bridgestones. They have served well on our toads (Honda CRV and Pilot).
I'd appreciate input, including what might have come as OE on the 97 Allegro.
Thanks

    I like hankooks for all my trucks SUVs and MH. Best bang for the buck.

    Michelin XPS Ribs, Best 16 inch tire that money can buy. Also the most expensive at about $300 each out the door. Bullet proof! IMO

    Wouldn't use Michelins if you gave them to me...I'd rather have 6 different brands of 7-year-old Chinese tires.

    Assuming it uses the typical 235/85R16E tires, I would use these on the rear. I would probably use a rib tire (quite possibly the Goodyear Workhorse or Bridgestone Duravis, though the Nankang Geo-Trac is tempting) on the front.

    My vote is hankook. Best bang for the buck X2. I used to drive 18 wheelers with just about every brand of tire, hankook was the least problematic, rode the smoothest, the cheapest, and almost never had a problem. Other tires on the same truck would blow out constantly, or wear out prematurely. Toyo's are good too, and about the same money.
