Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Tire upgrade for Class C Sunseeker


We currently have Michelin LT225/75R16E. We need to buy a new tire to replace spare. When we good the rug weighed it was suggested we upgrade tires when it comes time to replace them, but I do not recall what the upgrade should be. Came anyone help with that information.

Me thinks that since this was mentioned at the time of weighing that the "upgrade" was to a higher load range, probably one letter higher. Look on the sidewall of the tire and it should say "Load Range G" or some other letter designation. If it says "Load Range G" the upgrade would be to "Load Range H" and so forth. I wouldn't think that it would be an upgrade in brand of tire as Michelins are fairly well known and generally pretty good tires, but I'm sure some will disagree. Just my two cents, and with that and four bucks you can buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Upgrading to a higher Load Range is always a good idea provided your are willing to tolerate the increased tire pressure...riding, riding, riding.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a heavier LR in the size you have listed. I believe you will need to move up to a larger size DEPENDING on what you are trying to “shoe”. What is the chassis of this class C?

I got my Michelin tires from 4wheelonline for a reasonable price. Just sharing if you are looking for one. :)

First post is over three years old. Time to bury it.
