What size tires should I get ?

After reading all the reviews about the Mission China bombs I have decided to replace my very low mile Missions.I went to the local Goodyear store to be told they dont do RV tires.I went to Costco and they will put on BF Goodrich Commercial 245-75 r16s load range E (thats what they recommended).They are not the same size as the Missions they are st235-80 r16s max load range. Can somebody give me advise on this? I called the Montana dealer I bought it from and they told me Mission is out of business and they use Discount Tires for their tire needs.

Sfish the BFGs are a good tire and the missions were ST235/80/R16 load range E. BTW IMHO they should be out of business. I put LT235/85/R16Es on mine and have had very good service from them. JMHO

I would replace the ST tires with LT235/85R16E- The LT tires are more readily available when replacement is needed- I feel the LT (light truck) is a better designed and built tire than any ST (special trailer)- I base my opinion on 30 plus years in the tire business- JHMO- Don
