This is not for the coach but for a Sprinter van, but i thought this is a good place to get the question answered.

You can buy an all season highway tire at 245/75/R16 with a load index 111T - that is 2400 lb per tire - 14,600 total load.

So why would it be a bad idea to put it on a GMC, or, a four ton Sprinter van. (four wheel 9600lb)
