On my way to buy 7 new tires for Big Green, 225/75-16 was thinking of a set of BF Goodrich commercial but will consider other brands

1973 23' # 1848 Sky Blue Glacier called Baby Blue and a 1973 26'-3 # 1460 Parrot green Seqouia Known as the Big Green, And sold my 1973 26'-2 # 581 White Canyon lands under the name Dobbelt trøbbel in Norway

Yes, you have several made for RVs there with reinforced sidewalls that are good and the price would be similar to importing them from the US (getting them shipped to Norway) so I am thinking about it

Let me know, which ones you end up with, IF you do get some from here.
That way I know which ones to get in Europe eventually :)

This is what I fought last year:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WIUXZSE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_20?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

For a hundred bucks each a great deal.

Dam spell check I bought these.

From the nokian web site:

LT225/75R16 115/112 S up to 112 mph, max load 2679 lb

So yes E rated.Also low rolling resistance

Check them out at Nokian:
https://www.nokiantires.com/all-season-tires/nokian-rotiiva-ht/

I have used Nokian tires for years and found then superior to all others.
