By process of elimination and the associative properties then:

Your 2980 RV currently has Dominator LT 235/85 R16 tires.
You have Bridgestone LT 245/75 R16 tires you'd like to use as replacements.

IF a.)When you purchased the trailer, the dealer or prior owner put the properly rated LT tires on the rig; and b.) The LT tires meet the current GVWR of the RV; and c.)The load rating on the sidewalls of the newer Bridgestone tires meet or exceed the current Dominator tires and your RV GVRW...

Then you're good to go.

When Glenn mentioned the E rating it raised a red flag to me, because an E rating can be different for different sized tires which you described in your case. But if you have both sets of tires right in front of you look at the numerical weight rating for the actual rating regardless of whether it says E or G or whatever. Then it's a matter of looking at the numbers.

What arguments?... I see points and counterpoints, opinions, references, history, yada, yada, yada. Isn't that what forums are for? I was able to learn a lot more about this today and expect to continue the education. Thanks for that.
