New Tires

[Tom Warner]

I am very leary about putting off brand tires on my coach without
knowing something about their reliability and roadworthiness. It only
takes one thrown belt on a 12R tire to possibly do many thousands of
dollars of damage. I have been quoted $425/each for Firestone 400
12R22.5 16 ply bus tires that I know are good. Its tempting to save
$700 on 4 tires but its a tough decison to make. I want peace of
mind knowing that I can put them on and they will last for at least 6
years. Thats an extra $125/year for peace of mind and possibly a
better wearing tire. Still undecided. Got time dont take the road
test until June 6th here in NY for my R endorsement on my license so
I can legally drive the coach. Are there any other New Yorkers with
Bluebirds that dont have their R endorsement?
