Time for new tires - 275/80R 22.5

[Jim]

I went the expensive route new coach?

That reminds me of when we used to take our boat across the bay to get a hamburger and we laughed that we didn't have to pay the $3.00 toll to go across the bridge.

lol, 38' Carver at 40 gallons per hour vs $3.00 toll. Yeah, we really stuck it to em...

Just out of curiosity, does that include balancing with centramatics? i have heard about them but not sure if that is extra or not.

I'm sorry to say but I've never heard of centramatics before.

Tire Balancers, Tire Balancing, Wheel Balancer and Wheel Balancing from Centramatic. I have only read about them on the other forum. I think @Dutch Star Don may be able to speak about their effectiveness.

Got tires mounted and balanced today. Stopped on the way home to fill the tank and add a quart of Diesel Kleen. Say goodby to that $3,000.00.

I didn't know Diesel Kleen was that expensive.

Seriously, glad you got the new tires situation resolved. Having good tires under the coach is critical, IMHO.

I didn't know Diesel Kleen was that expensive.

As I recall, the ad said, "get a free set of tires with every purchase of Diesel kleen"... or something like that.

It's time to invest in some new rubber for Mr. Phaeton. I've not bought tires for a Class A motor home before and a couple of questions have come up.

1. As long as the tires are all the same size, how important that all of the tires be made by the same manufacture?
2. How important is it that the front two tires be "steer" tires?
3. An suggestions on brand? I don't want junk tires on my MH, but the pricing of these monster ovals of black gold is between $365.00 - $600.00 per tire. Times 6 and that can be a large variation.

TIA,

Jim

Don’t know if you are still looking, but I purchased the wrong Tires and am offering six Toyota 245/75 22.5 14 ply tires at significant discount. Very good reviews for Michelin replacement. $1500 for all six

Very interesting read. On my C, the Michelin’s were all cracked at 4 years. Tires are always covered. MH sits in the driveway for six months at a time. All of my chassis work is done ata local light truck service center. The Michelin’s were change to Cooper. The tire guy said he was tired if replacing cracked Michelins. The Coopers rode just as nice as the Michelin’s.

On the current A, I am thinking of Toyo’s when the time comes as well. So, I would really be interested in seeing how these perform and hold up.

We just put new Nexen Roadian CT8 HL tires on our Class C. They have a load rating around 3,200 pounds and they are affordable.
