Art, maybe you should read Glenn's post again. He made it pretty clear that both sizes in question have the same load and inflation ratings in load range E.

Yes, So long as they are "E" rated, you could use the TV's tires on the Monty. The 245s will be a bit wider and a bit smaller in diameter than the 235s. This should not be a problem. Both sizes carry the same load capacity of 3420# at 80# PSI.
I had an 04 2955RL and had thorouhgly check out that possibility and saw no reason that they wouldn't work. Your 2980 would have been built on the same frame.
My Montana rides on LT235/85R16E Bridgestone Duravis R500 tires. IF I thought the ST rated tires would be the better choice, my trailer would have them on it. Nuff said.

Rondo, I agree with Glenn 100%. The only thing that may prohibit the use of the LT245/75R16E is the extra width. IF you have shocks on your trailer, you may have a clearance issue.

Bingo and Rondo, Thank You
