If your tires are inflated to 130 psi + cold and running that hot, and you are running that fast during the summer, the larger tires and wheels may be needed. Weight is always important since depending on the layout of the coach, the front end may not have all that much carrying capacity. Historically, most of the Prevost and Newell coaches, especially with salon slides run pretty heavy in the front compared to their front axle weight rating. A front mounted generator adds to that weight. Blue Bird Wanderlodge had to retrofit a number of their more recent models because they came from the factory with overloaded front ends, even empty.
