Thanks for the update bherron. Sounds like your test went well.
Btim, I have heard the same thing about Road Ready and I contacted them directly. They told me their tires would NOT fit my needs. I read around 30 reports and these came back 50/50 with the rub complaint. I figure my luck, mine would.
Not all coaches are the same so Bherron may have a wheel that works on that coach. Now here it is my scary answer of what I bought and remember, my spare is emergency only. I bought a manufacturers original tire with part #8c2z-1015-g. I paid $111 on ebay but it is a remanufactured rim. It has held 80psi for the last 2 months so I am happy. As it is the exact part # of my original rim I am not worried about caliper rub which I read as a common problem for my coach.
 
Update do not use wood to set a bottle jack on, it will split drop the motor home and kill you. That came from my 2nd test change. Got a safe jack with the bottom steel plate that locks in the larger steel plate to stop jack from sinking or tipping. Much better. 6 ton works 12 ton works better when I laying on the ground looking at what might kill me. One thing on a c class you need a shorty bottle jack less than 7 inches tall to get under the axle. My 6 and 12 ton are 9 inches compressed to tall.
