Re: 225/75 R16
Got it, thanks for your replies! Here is the door sticker: https://goo.gl/45jwi3 Here is the inflation table on the sidewall of the current tires: https://goo.gl/zLDD9E And here is what the rear tires look like inflated to 55psi: https://goo.gl/K7cfF9 My concern is the bulge that appears. Doesn't this increase heat and tire wear? Would a load range D tire show less bulge when inflated to the recommended psi? After long drives I swear I can smell more "rubber off-ing" on the rear tires than on the front. Thanks! (Apparently I haven't learned the trick to posting pictures here yet.

My camper sways all over the road when traveling in moderate wind. I had the front end inspected and the steering dampener replaced. The tires are only 2 years old, but I'm wondering if replacing them now will help. I have a 1994 Winnebago Minnie Winnie on a 93 Ford E350. The sticker in the door calls for LT225/75 R16D with a max psi cold limit of 50 on the front and 55 on the back. The tires that I have now are Laufenn LT225/75 R16 load range E. The front tires are inflated to 75 on the front, and 55 on the back. The back tires tend to bulge on the bottoms if I am not parked on completely level ground. The front tires never seem to buldge, but are inflated way above the original ratings. The tire walls on these tires give them a weight limit of 2470 lbs at 80psi. The door sticker demands a front GAWR of 4600 lbs, and a rear GAWR of 7810 lbs (GVWR 12200) I am most concerned about safety. I have no desire to leave solid pavement or drive in the snow. I just want the most reliable and recommended tires that make sense to put on this camper. While it looks like the tires I have meet the weight ratings, I'm wondering what might be a better option. Thanks!4.8KViews0likes12Comments
