Dealer in Lake Havasu put new tires on this coach when we went to purchase it in July '26. They installed Toyo 275 70r 22.5. I looked up the specs and see that they are commercial for urban usage.

Commercial Tire Finder by Application and Position

The front tires are incredibly loud. They have a massive tread pattern, which leads to "'round the coach" discussions at rallys and gatherings.

Hubs is now confused as heck and trying to talk me into a variety of brands and styles that will reduce the road noise. We are keeping the rear tires.

At this point in hub's health, he thinks that he's making correct decisions, which in the past don't always pan out (my Mercedes tires, which NOBODY would install).

Anyone have some friendly suggestions for me as to brands and styles? He does listen to experts such as you all, when I read parts of forum discussions to him.

Thank you.
 
I have Toyo 305 70r/225 for several years and have been happy with them (had Michelin before) so I am not sure why you are having issues with them. We have the M144 model...which, according to your link, may not come in your size... It did for ours.... So maybe you can move to Michelins...?

 
I have Toyo 144’s also but a different size. Very happy with them over the last couple years
 
Michelin tires are good for 10 years, (with annual inspection after 5 years), probably your best choice. The 10 year life comes from Michelin itself.
