The key piece of information is the weight rating stamped on the tire. If you've got one of the heavier R-pods at ~~ 3800 lbs, I would be looking for a tire that was rated at least 2200 lbs (3800/2 * 1.15) for a 15% safety margin.

Good point GlueGuy,

With the Goodyear Endurance tires with a D load range I think he's covered. Though all DaveGamble needs to do is look at the Goodyear link I supplied and he'll see the tires do not have a S speed rating. With a M speed rating or a N is more then antiquate for present interstate highway speeds. The higher the load range and speed rating the cooler the tires will run which will help prevent de-laminations and tire failures as he sadly experienced. I can't stress enough that upgrading your tires is the best mod you can do on your camper since we only have two tires meeting the road.

They’re 101N. More than suitable for me. Thanks for the help and advice - now on to getting the fender replaced.
