I have a Viking 17FQ camper. Little guy. Max weight for this little guy is around 3500lbs or so. Stock it came with ST185/80R13 "D" rated tires with a max weight at 65lbs of 1710 per tire or 2820lbs. I am having a hell of a time finding load range "D" tires. Lend a guy a Google hand?

Look at Goodyear trailer tires. I've been looking myself and they, in my opinion, have the best tire

No Goodyears in that size or spec at all. This will have to be china bombs of some kind.

I may have to switch to a bias-ply. That a big deal?

You may have to go to a trailer tire provider such as ( LOADSTAR 12 thru 16 in. Radial Tire/Rim at Trailer Parts Superstore ). They have radial designed Castle Rock & Load Star brands in your size with a LRD rating.

E-trailer had several different 13s, most already mounted on rims. They had radial load d as well as bias ply D.

Thanks for the help. Looks like i'll switch to bias and get Kenda Loadstar's.. NO need for new rims at all.

Check out Carlisle Brand Tires they do make what you're looking for in the size that you are looking for I just checked. Not sure about the price because I do not know where your at they are sold at many tire stores including Pep Boys. They do have them in the 81 mile per hour speed range as well. I've run a lot of Carlisle tires and never had a major issue.
