B+ motorhomes
I just bought a Trail Lite B+ 211s with 8.1 Chevy engine. This is my fifth motorhome (others range from an old 20' Vagabond, and three Winnegagos, from 19 to 32'. This vehicle is fantastic. I am...
I originally had the 'FireBoom' (Firestone) tires. Never had a blow out, but the ride was terrible ... very rough. Four months ago, I mounted Michellins and the ride was greatly improved. Also, the original tires where LT225/75R16 ... replaced with LT245/75R16 to add more rubber. Ford offers LT245s optionally for this chassis., and I believe the LT225s are insufficent for the 211s. Seems I was right. The rig seems to have a firmer grip of the road, more stable, better clearence and smoother ride.
Before you get larger tires, you might want to look here:
