If the load rating on the tire's match your motor home weights your good to go

Michelin makes a 9R16 that would more likely have the necessary load (weight) capacity.

Going to 16" tires will necessitate changing rims. That isn't necessarily a bad thing since it would open up many more economical choices for tires! Not sure if your chassis is Ford/Chevy/or Dodge. Here's a conversation on rims that may be helpful: converting-16.5-rims-to-16-rims

I had a 34' 95 Winnebago Vectra gas unit that had the exact same size 16" tires on it as my 91 Dodge 3/4 Ton diesel pickup. That really never seemed right to me, but it worked since the load rating was adequate for the motor home axles.

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

I'm not familiar with those tires but wanted to say hello!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

Try this Firestone. Order online if the local guy doesn't sell it.
