1978 Ford Chateau motor home

Asked by Vinn4520 Apr 03, 2021 at 02:43 PM

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I just bought my first motor home and I need to
replace all the tires before I can even move it.
Where can I find these tires in Oklahoma or online?
They are sized 8.75R 16.5LT. Should I just get a
different sized rim that fits the lug pattern?

Most tire shops can order them if they do not have them in stock. Try the TireRack for mail order.

You might want to swap out the wheels to 16" or 17".

Those tires are OLD, ancient in fact. Your tire shop can convert the old standard tire size to the current metric tire size. The old sizing system, which you have, was done in inches. The modern sizing system is done in centimeters. Hope that helps! Jim
