Hi All,
Quick update. I did end up replacing all the tires. I went with 12R 22.5 all the way around. Bridgestone's in the front for steer and the rest are Sumutomo. It's going to be a while before this thing gets any real miles so I went with the cheaper option on the back. I'm going to try to keep 303 on them and keep them covered and hopefully get some long life out of them.
The threads were indeed left-hand on the driver's side and are clearly marks as was mentioned, so thanks for that. I managed to get the coach jacked up and took the wheels off myself. The tire company sent someone to come get them and take them back to be mounted and spin balanced. They barely charged me anything. They are all back on now and torqued to 475.
Now I just have to see what is going on with my airbags. One side is higher than the other. Not sure if something happened to the leveling valves in the back when I had it jacked up so high. I hope I didn't mess up the airbags. The adventure continues.
