On my 1976 Itasca c25c I've got tires size 215/85/16. I'm familiar with what all the numbers mean in this scale. But I have a chance to get a set of 6 decent tires amd rims. From someone but they are size 8.75 x 16.5. They have thesame lug pattern and came from an older gmc motor home so I don't see a fit issue given that my Itasca is on a Chevy chassis. My question is are the 8.75 tires close enough in size to my 215/85 tires to still be safe and adequate for the weight of my vehicle. And the tires im buying have been sittting in this guys garage for 4 years not in the sun or weather so I believe they should be in good shape. I really can't afford $1000 for a set of 6 new tires so I've got to take this chance to snag some decent tires while I can ya know.
