I am just a newbie at all of this. I have found this site very informative, which we try to research everything we buy for our truck and trailer. I have been reading on this site and others about Mission tires and other sub-standard RV tires. I was at Discount Tires today getting my truck tires rotated and balanced and looked at the Michelin XPS RIB LT 235/85R16E and it looks great. I have Michelin tires on everything but this trailer. OK, here is the questions: Will this tire fit on the trailer ok? The tire will be 1" taller so that means 2" closer. Will there be clearence? I think Michelin website said weight of 3042 lbs./80 psi. Will that work Ok with my trailer? My trailer (2955RL) weight empty is 9995 lbs. acording to Montana website. Will I have any warranty problems with these tires being LT and not ST? Will the trailer being 1" taller with these tires will it change anything towing it? Any input will help. Thank you, I know you folks are tired of talking about tires.
