I just bought new tires?

[Lxlzbaca]

Lt 225 75r16 115/112s Hi I just bought this size tires for my 29 ft fleet wood jamboree I believe it’s 14000 pounds I also tow a Ford Flex. I just want to make sure these are the right tires for me. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am not familiar with your rv but that size is common on most class c rv's. 225-75-16 load range E 115/112. Make sure you have the proper psi in your tires based on your rv weight.

Yes, those are likely the right tires.


You can look at the manufacturers sticker on the driver side door frame and you will likely see it listed there.


If you've already purchased them...enjoy. If not, you might consider upgrading (for not much more $$$) to Commercial rated tires (Note: Not "C" rated tires...Commercial tires). They have a ~500lb/tire increased carrying capacity. 29-31' Class C RVs loaded up are almost heavy enough to be at the maximum load carrying capacity of properly inflated E load rated tires (like the ones you purchased). Some of us prefer the added 2000lbs of rear carrying capacity (as a buffer and to help prevent blowouts).


Stay safe out there!

The time to ask is before you buy the tires. Nearly all of the class C's use a load range E tire. You did not say what brand tire you bought. Now get the weight on the RV and adjust tire pressures to match the actual load when you are loaded for travel. The tire manufacture should have a load/pressure chart. I would add 5 psig cold pressure based on the weight for each axle.

Txiceman corsa is the brand

[TXiceman]

Corsa tires designs and produces tires in partnership with manufacturers based in Thailand, Indonesia, China and India. They are owned by Omni United Pte. Ltd and based out of Singapore.

I had them on a "beater" Toyota Camry that I used to run back and forth to the bus center before I retired. On the little car they did decent, but this was not as heavy as a class C motorhome.

Personally….I’ve never heard of Corsa brand tires, but I’m no tire expert.
Given the info from TXiceman, and his RV expertise on so many things, I’m going to assume you bought your tires based on price point alone, compared to other more common brands, not because of performance comparisons.

Do you know the date code of your tires, or even how to tell when they were manufactured? Looks alone has nothing to do with how old tires may actually be.

Maintaining your tire pressures will be crucial to provide tire safety.

I did not buy them on price point, I had a blowout on my other set of tires, that where seven years old, so it was an emergency buy, I bought one tire because my spare was no good. The following day on bought the other 5 tires, I asked the salesperson if they where good tires and he said yes he had just put some on his cousin’s trailer , and yes I know where to look for date code to see age of tires.

Yeah I’m bothered that they are considered light truck, my rv isn’t light plus I pull a vehicle

LT or light truck is F350 or 3500 and down. Above that yo move to MDT or medium duty truck.

E rated tires are fine on your class C motorhome. Just keep them properly pressurized and do not run them for too many years.
