I have had great results with the Michelin Agilis Cross Climates. Great ride, handling and mileage in a rugged mud/snow rated tire. My Class C is a 24' E-350, with a GVWR 11,500#.

Unless you’re packing on the miles and wear out your tires before they get too old, the consideration for the “best” tires is largely a moot point. Find the best priced reasonably good tires (IE no bargain brand no name bottom of the barrel tires like you see on the first page of Amazon searches) and call it good. Save the extra few hundred bucks you’d pay for the “best” tires for something else like beer or gas as you’ll never realize the value.
Save for the cheapo type tires I mentioned, tire brand questions are like oil brand questions….or little substance.

Kumho Crugen HT51. Very happy 3,000 mi.
Previous tires on rvs were Mich, Hankook, Cooper and Bridgestone. All performed very well and these Kumo’s are an equal favorite.
I buy whats on sale as a package rebate deal. Tire/ mounting/ balance/ stems.
Quiet and smooth on the highway. Very good bite on wet roads. Rated 123/S.
If it matters to you …..Not good for snow.

Bea Pa,I also am shopping for tires.I have a 2017 winnebago 31g on a e450 chassis.I like the Toyo celsius cargo because they have the highest weight rating in the 225/75r16 size.Do you mind if I ask what your quote was for 6 of them mounted and balanced.

My Class C came with the Michelins and they lasted WAY WAY longer than the recommendations said they should have, beyond 10 years and never had a blow out but I was not about to pay that price for them as a replacement. Went to Discount Tire and had an inexpensive set put on as we do less than 3,000 miles a year.
This past weekend I had to do a panic stop 60 to zero towing our Wrangler in the rain. They grabbed very well, no sliding, kept just off the edge of skidding and the rig and toad stayed straight. Brake Buddy was grabbing the Jeep brakes as well.
I think they are Mastercraft tires.

Just to clarify, tire brand/model of tire has nothing to do with weight rating. Size/load ratings are largely if not wholly universal across all brands.
Of course there are other factors that define quality, but load rating by brand is not one of them.

And I’ve been disappointed the couple times I’ve ended up with Michelins.
Not saying I wouldn’t buy that brand again, as my experiences are older and with “OE equipment” tires which are often of lesser quality somehow… but I have yet to see the. As a best value in anything I’ve purchased tires for. JMO

The trucking and agriculture industry (two where true economy is paramount) have learned that some of those offshore tires are actually superior to the ‘big brands’ in both performance and durability.
Offshore tires also seem to have far better UV resistance because the high annual mileage of typical North American means they’re bald long before they’re aged out, the opposite is true of Asian countries. The tires *must* last longer before they wear out or people just don’t buy them. A perfect setup for motorhomes that don’t do a lot of miles per year.
