Greetings Ya'll,
It's been a while since i was active on this forum. But after several years of home renovation followed by rental renovation along with raising two boys younger than my grandchildren, I finally have two minutes to rub together and I am getting back to work on the Revcon.
I'm seeing lots of choices for cheap 16.5 tires.
If i recall the big driver for ya'll switching to 16" Alcoas was the growing scarcity of 16.5s.
But now they are at Walmart and Amazon for $130.
The Revcon uses a very rare Five lug on 8" pattern so changing rim size is a much more expensive option. But if i can get a replacement at Walmart i can live with the stock wheels.
This one at WalMart for $99 Power King LT8.75-16.5 has a load index of 2670LB - more than adequate for the front of my coach.
What's the verdict here on these tires?

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
