Re: RV Tire recommendation
Some things I've learned about RV's-- no matter how many miles are on the tires CONSIDER replacing them every 4 years or so--- reasons
most motor homes tires are seriously overloaded and under spec'd for the weight they are carrying
the sidewalls tend to reduce in strength because of under inflation, over loading, heat caused by the previous exposure to sunlight, and speed
tires MUST/SHOULD be covered and away from the sunlight when the vehicle is stored this helps prolong the life of the rubber from ozone depletion- you can buy covers like they use on dragsters or something as simple as a sheet of plywood up against the side of the tire will help too
Look into a load range E or G when replacing the tires-- maybe go up in tire size too from say a 225 to a 235 etc. check for tire clearance issues between the tire and body to see how much room is available
Towing anything extra with the RV puts an additional strain on the already seriously overloaded tires
Do some research and you should be able to have an good experience towing with your RV, Good luck FED 387
