I suspect your 295RL came with 6K axles. The current RVIA specifications require the manufacturer to fit the RV with a tire that has at least a 15% reserve capacity. Which equates to 6,900 lbs. Montana does so by providing "G" rated tires.

The GY Endurance tire is an "E" rated tire with a Load Index of 123 (which is 3,417 lbs). The total for both tires on one axle is 6,834 lbs. So you are close to the RVIA spec but still under. As long as you are happy, stick with them. Personally, I want more reserve capacity. And if the 295RL has 7K axles then you really do need "G" rated tires (which GY Endurance doesn't make).
