Paul, I would encourage you to weigh the coach if you haven't already, and if you can safely do so on the current tires.
My non- slide coach was right at the weight limit of the 11R24.5 tires on the front, so I installed Michelin 305 75R24.5 tires upfront on the steer axle. The 305's offer a significantly higher weight limit, giving me some safety margin and peace of mind. They also fit on the original 8.25" wide wheel.
More than likely your 2 slide coach is heavier than mine. I would think you might benefit from the extra weight capacity, but weighing the coach is the only way to know for sure what tires are appropriate.
