Michelin's XC are Camping tyres. They are supposed to be designed especially for M/Homes.

They are designed to carry a heavier weight and consequently are rated at a higher pressure which I think is 85psi, rather than the normal 65psi. But do make sure your other tyres are 8 ply rating and nothing less.

You could take your vehicle to be weighed (whole vehicle, and each axle), then with the results you’ll be able to tell what safety margin you have between your actual weight and that specified as the maximum weight on each tyre.
