WHOA!!!! 11R24.5 tires are OK on the drive axle and the tag axle but not for the FRONT axle on a 1998!! Your 1998 came with 315/80R22.5 FRONT tires with a load rating of 9,090 pounds each at 130 psi. The 11R24.5 tires Load Range H rated tires are only rated at 7,160 pounds each at 120 psi. This is not NEARLY enough FRONT capacity for a Newell with slides. The upgraded FRONT tire size for a Newell with slides is the 365/70R22.5 Load Range L which are rated at 10,500 pounds each at 120 psi. I can't imagine putting 11R24.5 on the FRONT of a 1998 and dropping the load carrying capacity.
