I am going to replace all the tires on "Crazy Birds" before heading to
Montana in July with the family.
Toyo has a M120Z 11R22.5
Not usre of 14 or 16 ply and what load rating do I need?
Thanks

Mike, I did not see a reply to your question, so for what it is
worth, I have Dunlop "H" rated / 16 ply tires on my 33FC. The key
is of course to match the tire rating to your loaded coach weight.
As far a specific tires...I look for a standard name tire that is
black and round at a good price at the proper rating, and designed
for the application (steer vs drive).
You will likely have good luck with the TOYOS, my Dunlops ride fine,
I am sure the big french brand is great too...but i question paying
such a premium price for it.

Mike I too replaced all my tires shortly after purchasing my BB. I was able
to save a few bucks. I wanted Michelin steers but didn't want to pay the
premium price for the same brand on the back. For the drives and tags I
chose BF Goodrich, a Michelin subsidary, and saved at least the price of a
tire. I chose Michelin because I kept hearing that the roundest tire you can
buy is a Michelin. I didn't want any of the trouble I had heard others
having with poor handling, shaking, poor tracking etc etc. My choice has
proven to be fine so far (2 years). Three or four more years and I will be
replacing them and will let you know how they did. Whatever brand you select
I would suggest that you can save money in the same fashion as I. Also you
might consider saving another few bucks by not bothering to balance the rear
tires. Worked for me.

With all due respect,
You may decide not to balance the rear tires, but I found that balancing
makes the coach considerably smoother. I also run balanced drums,
part number 3600AX.
