I guess I will buy the same size tire load E which will up it to 2833 per tire (since I was informed ftom Keystone that changing tire size will void warramty). At least until warranty is up, then I will make chage. I really like my RV but I`m beginning to feel I should have gone with Jayco.

The LRE is rated for 2830# at 80 PSI. Check your rims to make sure they will handle the extra PSI. Without using PSI above 65 PSI you gain nothing with the LRE. Also, shop around. A lot of the new tires have higher speed ratings. Look for a service description like this 117/112L, The "L" is a speed letter for 75 MPH. They might also have "M" or "N" for higher speed ratings.

Note: Service descriptions are allowed on ST & LT tires but they are not the official load indicator, that distinction for those tires is the Load Range letter.
