New Tires
Getting ready to buy 6 new tires for my bird. Any advice on the best
brand to get? I am able to get 6 new 22.5 x 11 load range "H" Kumho tires for under 2K installed where the bus sets now (includes $80.00 service call)....would this be a good choice? Thanks Chris Reed 83 FC35 SB Plant City, FL. |

I installed Kumhos on my toter home and they work very well. However, nothing
rides as well as a Michelin.

That doesn't sound bad, I had tires priced out at 2400.00. They were
bridgestones. Of course I have to take the coach to them. Chuck 81fcsb35 Orange City, Fl > I installed Kumhos on my toter home and they work very well.

Chris, I use a mobile tire dealer with my dump trucks, the only prob is
with the steer. If the mobile dealer is set up to balance them onsite, the balance system is not accurate. Good tire casings (tires that are retreadable) get me a $50.00 credit. Junk tires cause a $10.00 disposal fee.

If you have a Les Swab dealer in your area check them out I got 4
new tires for around $1300 tax included. I really like dealing with Les Swab as they believe in service first!!! Nice just to take the motor home anytime I want to down and have the air pressure checked for free!

The prices mentioned in this thread are only for 11R22.5 Those of us
with 12R are not so fortunate. Les Swab quoted me around $450 plus plus plus. Seems that not all mfrs. make a suitable 12R. I would also be concered that some of the off makes could be noisy. Both Goodyear and Michelin make more than one tire for our application. Bruce 88FC35 |

Its not the price of the tires that are important.it is the quality
and how well they suit the coach. What kind of tires did you buy for $1300 tax included, what ply rating and what kind of tread? tom warner Vernon Center,Ny 1985 PT 40 At 01:51 PM 6/4/2006, you wrote: >If you have a Les Swab dealer in your area check them out I got 4 >new tires for around $1300 tax included.

I am somewhat concerned about tire noise but with the engine noise I don't think
I would notice any difference. Has there been any problems with Kuhmos? Thanks Chris Reed 83 FC 35 SB Plant City, FL.
