Should I have these tires changed out before I pick up our new 5th wheel? And drive home?
If so. What are the best tires to get for this 5th wheel?
Appreciate the advice.
Happy Thanksgiving

A HC 281CK is a new model that
may have 6K axles and 6 lug wheels that are not rated for anything more then 80psig. While there aren't a lot of well branded 'F' tires available, you can opt for Goodyear Endurance or Sailun but inflated to 80 psig (yes, folks, their inflation charts show a load rating at 80psig) There are Michelin and Bridgestone LTs that are also rated for trailer use. Our 343RL has 'E' LTs on it and have had since new (30K trouble free miles) but the 'tire and weight police' will tell you I'm a bad person.
First off, I would ask the dealer what axle rating and what wheels will be on the unit along with the tire brand. You then may be able to have him specify a tire that has a real and known brand reputation, not some oddly named off brand "China Bomb".
