Question:
We need to replace tires/wheels on our RV, they are 185/80R 13, 5 lug on 4.5. After searching I have no idea what to replace ours with. Our unit weighs 3500 lbs dry. We now have Maxxis 8008 but want something way less$$$$$ that is dependable.

Based on the information you sent, I recommend the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13 inch Galvanized Wheel, Item # AM3S334. The Loadstar is constructed to provide the strength of a bias tire with the stability of a radial tire. This unique design is very safe and durable and exceeds DOT standards. This tire and wheel combination fits 5 on 4-1/2 bolt patterns. It has a maximum load of 1,660-lbs at 65 psi with a maximum speed of 81 mph.
If you just need just tires, I recommend The Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire, Item # AM1ST79. Like Item # AM3S334, it combines the benefits of bias and radial tires. It has a maximum load of 1,710-lbs at 65 psi with a maximum speed of 81 mph.
I also recommend looking at easy to use wheel covers like Item # 290-3954 so that you can protect your tires from water, dirt, and UV rays when parked.
