LT 235/85 R16 Load Range E.
I want to but new tires and owner of the RV storage center it would be better/cheaper to purchase new rims with the tires. He sent to a tire dealer he deals with and they want to sell me just tires but is recommending ST vs LT.
I called Keystone and they said to stick with what is on there because they are on there for a reason. They gave me 2 tire manufacturers that they deal with 1 being : Tredittire.com THey are telling that they provide all the camper manufacturers with the same tire a ST their issues for Light Truck (LT) tires.
I am confused as to how to proceed....BTW...getting a vrey good price from them of : $103.37 per tire mounted on a 6 lug White MOD rim.
Can anyone give me some advice. Thank you

Watch someone backing a 5er into a site, especiallhy the tire sidewalls. An LT tire is NOT designed to deform that way, the ST is. BTW, buying some unknown brand to save $50 vs the thousands in repairs when it blows and rips out the floor is not good judgement.
