How long is your RV? What is the weight?
Not sure if you bought these already or not.
On my 30' or larger RVs I upgraded my tires to Commercial load (121) to give 500lbs of extra weight carrying buffer per tire (2000lb total). I find the E-rated tires do not have enough carrying capacity buffer for my comfort level.
Note: You should never overload your axle. But all else being equal, Commercial rated (121) tires can more easily carry the load and therefore I feel they are less likely to have a blowout.
Safe travels!

You want all your valve stems replaced, especially if you’re worried about tires that are less than 10 years old.
But I also don’t understand the point of your post?
And yeah I wouldn’t put those lighter duty tires on it either. For multiple reasons.

Ahhhhhh... The camper has new shoes! 6 for $1382.
(Yes, they were CV commercial.)
BUT... I put my TPMS on when I got home and all read 80+psi. I've been running 65 on the fronts and 60 on all 4 rear tires, just like the RV sticker says. I found a chart for the commercial tires and used it. 4600# on the front and 8400# on the rear. I'm thinking 65psi all around.

This might get you close to the chart

Edit: Hmmm, bad link. I'll see if I can find the correct link.
Fixed it?
Thanks, Phil
