tires
The load rating should exceed the maximum weight allowed for the axle
(we assume you don't overload your coach). You should find the axle
rating in your blue box (if you have it). Divide that by 4 (for the
number of tires) to get the individual tire loads. Add some more for
a safety factor. Since I'm not so familiar with early FCs, I thought
all 'birds had 22.5 size wheels... but that might be more recent
models. Most use an 11 or 12R x 22.5 depending on year.

You might be able to find a weight rating chart on the tire
manufacturer's web site.
