Welcome to the forum.

You will be a little larger. You can compare size with a tool like this. Are you running LR G or H now?

I went from 255/80R 22.5 to 275/80R 22.5 and picked up a 6.6% overdrive.

The 275 is load range H @ 7160lb

The 295 is load range H also @

7830 lbs. 

I would like that little extra cushion as I'm within 10 or 15% of Maximum now.

The question is will the 295 tires fit on the same Rim as a 275.?

winbett,

I have been running on Good G670 tires since we bought our coach in 2017. It is a 2002 Monaco Dynasty with a tag. They are what Monaco put on when new.

They ride well and all have aged out before wearing out. G670s ar Load Range "H" with a Max Load Limit of 7,830 lbs @125psi.

If you are anywhere near the Dallas Ft. Worth area let me know I have a great dealer for them.

I would be interested in that dealers information in Fort Worth. I would call him and see if he could ship me tires to Tampa Florida. I'm looking for G6 70s 275 80 R 22.5. Cannot find them in the Tampa Bay area.

I am also due to change out my g670 tires on a Monaco 40-footer. On all four corners I'm running within 10%-15% of load limits. I would like to move from the 275 80r to the 295 80r. Can I mount these wider tires on the same rim? Staying in load range H the 295 provide about 700 more pounds of load carrying capacity. I like having a little more breathing room in my normal carry weight to maximum capacity.
