Anybody know who still makes 12 x 16.5 LT Radial Tires with load range "F".

16.5" is an obsolete wheel size.
To avoid this problem in the future, get a set of 16" wheels and tires to fit your hubs.

I bought a '76 Ford pickup that had 16" split rim wheels. The spare was a 16.5". I replaced them with 16" well (solid) rim wheels and new tires from Les Schwab in Oregon.

The tire that David is asking is for a Streamline Travel Home. Tires of this size are only available in "D" load range. What needs to be done is to go up to 19.5 size wheels, which will fit the unit, switching over to duals on the rear. Try for the Alcoa alloy wheels (part number 763220), but older motorhomes did use this size in a 5 x 8" center wheel, and you might find steel ones around.
