I've only driven this machine for about 30 miles, but with seven or eight
year old tires I'm sure I'm pushing my luck.
I am looking through the "archives" for that list of tires that will work
on this thing, but can't find it.
Can someone help me with finding that, please? It had several discussions
besides just tires.

I believe I have the Alcoas. So the rims are 16" right?
- the Tires are currently LT225/75 R16 load range D.
the spare is a Bridgestone "V-Steel Rib 187" ALL Steel 10 ply rating, and
although is a simple tread design, looks in much better shape than all the
others. The two fronts are Dunlop A/T 110/107R. and the other four are
Continental LT225/75 R16 M+S load range D.

I am tempted to keep the spare and replace the other 6. The spare shows no
sign of any cracks at all. All others are well over the recommended
crack/age limit.
I was reading that I should go to Load Range E due to the side stress the
unique design of our GMCs subjects to the sidewall as they sort of skid
(inner front and outer rear) around sharper turns/corners.
Is it true that Michelins have a better warranty? (7 years).

I am planning on going to Express Tire due to an overpaid bill and their
free financing. (they owe me $150 :) UNLESS there is significant savings
elsewhere. Does Costco do RVs? Are they less?
