I upgraded my M450 front wheels and tires with 365 75 22.5 Michelin's. I picked them up this afternoon.

After seeing them mounted off the coach being rolled up to mount, I would have bet they would not have fit. They are huge compared to the 315s. However, they mounted fine and I found no rubbing in tight turns because of the extra width.

I only had a short drive back to Pleasanton, CA but I am impressed with the softer ride (110 PSI versus 130 PSI) and tighter straight tracking. I feel a small degree of more firmness in the steering wheel requiring a slight bit more Lance Armstrong (performance enhancing substances) but nothing that I probably will notice in another hour of driving.

All in all, I like what they have done to the drive and look forward to being able to carry a bit more weight in front.
I had a Prevost here last month that had those. They really are large. I thought my 315s were wide~
Excellent news Tommy. I once tried to fit 365's on my 43LXi - no dice. It'd require an extensive cutout of my fiberglass fender lip plus the 10.5" wheels rubbed my tie-rod ends. You're very fortunate they fit the M450! Those tires are massive! Good luck!
Tommy , do you have the 315 s and rims available for sale ? If so I would be interested in buying them both .

The tires went to my tags which were older. I think they might be gone. Let me check on the wheels. I asked Les Schwab to see if they had a buyer. It was COB last night so they are probably still there.
Tommy , It is the rims that I really need . as to the tires I was not going to have to see you sell them separately . If you wish you could email me any update at alperna@yahoo.com thanks
Hi,
Ed Wimberley took my 2 rims to Pine Valley. I don't know if they sold.
Ross
Sorry sold
Ross , they are sold . KC , is now the owner . But , as I think of it they aren't "stud piloted rims " are they ? t I do thank you for posting about your rims Smile

If you up the pressure to 115 PSI the steering will improve. Try that and see.
