Hisham & other PT 42 & 43 owners. A ? about your tire size

[Hisham Amaral]

Kurt We have 315 80R22.5 Michelin's on our coach. They have about 10K miles on them with 3 years since new. At the rate we are traveling (9000 miles since Dec.) we may have to get a new set before 3-4 years. Hisham & Sue Amaral 97 WLWB 43' W. Bloomfield MI. From: Kurt Horvath Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Hisham & other PT 42 & 43 owners. A ? about your tire size To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, August 30, 2008, 9:55 PM Hisham Your welcome, I have a question for you. What size tires do you have on your PT-43, & PT-42 owners? Trying to decide on new tires. I have a placard up on the celing above the drivers poistion that states 315 75R 22.5 on 22.5 X 9 rims, and another plaqard in the bay the states 12R 22.5 The Michelin tire site has the rating for these tires and the 315's has almost 3000 lbs more capacity.I haven't checked into all the dimensions yet. I just wanted an informal survey on tire sizes for these coaches. Presently I have the 12R 22.5's. I have a cut in a stear tire and two others that are almost to the dreaded 5 year time out. So 3 or 4 tires are in my future.
