Higher up on the same page it lists vehicle types including RV. The issue may be that that size comes in both 115 (2,680 lb) and 121 (3,195 lb) load ratings. The pulldown doesn't show the 121 load rating as an option. On the other hand, load rating 115 would be okay for our coaches where each front wheel supports 2,000-2,250 lbs (rears typically less).

Oddly, many LT tires I find being used by members are also rated at 2680lbs. I thought that was a bit "light" but if others are not having issues....

Our LT225/75R16 Load Range E 10 ply tires typically max out at 2680 pounds. That must be a DOT or tire manufacturer standard as it holds for most all of the tire manufacturers and tires I've seen.

Not sure why Michelin would show that tire as not being suitable for an RV. Anyhoo, probably a mistake but worth a call to Michelin tech support if you're looking to buy those tires.

Those LT tires are load range E. Plenty of capacity considering original tires were load range D.

I'm replacing my tires this year, and although I was going to go with Coopers, these Michelins are the only ones on my list in the Resources section that are severe snow service rated (they have the 3 mountain peaks symbol). They only cost about $30 more each than the Coopers. I have Michelns currently and they've been great.

I guess I can't use them, max speed listed as only 106 mph...ha

I put a set of Agilis CrossClimate on in October 2024, they replaced a 11 year old set of Michelin LTX. The CrossClimate ride and track well. I am not a fan of the busy sidewall design, but that is the trend nowadays. Most important for me is even after sitting for six months they run nice and smooth without flat spotting.

It sounds like the new CrossClimate 2 is a solid improvement on an already good tire.

"The Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 2 introduces several significant performance leaps over the original Agilis CrossClimate, primarily focusing on extended tread life and sustained safety as the tire wears.

The most notable upgrade is a 40% increase in mileage compared to its predecessor. This was achieved through refined StabiliBlok Technology, which uses reinforced tread blocks to reduce movement under heavy loads, and an optimized MaxPressure Profile that distributes weight more evenly to prevent irregular wear. Additionally, the new version is engineered to maintain its wet and snow grip even as the tread wears down to the legal limit, a feature Michelin calls "Performance Made to Last."

Maybe with Jim's COOP 455 which is supposed to redline @ 4,000 rpm & I have a new set of these tires.
