Class A Tire Recommendations

I'm new to this forum. We are in the process of pricing new tires for our 2004 Allegro Bus. Does anyone have brand recommendations and good or bad experiences with a particular brand? Thanks. A.B.

    yes but still more than (eg) continentals and not a bit better


    And you have used every other brand of tire and check your air pressure every few miles and the Michelins still are no good?
    Making general statements about a particular brand of tire means nothing. Many people that have used Michelins are happy with them and would buy them again. They are still the number one tire installed on new Class A coaches, when the manufacturer certainly could save money using cheap tires.
    I can count on one hand the number of people at RV parks that check the tire air pressure before they get on the road. I even had people with TPMS say that the buzzer will go off as soon as they put a few miles on the tires and they warm up.
    There are only two manufacturers that make tires specifically for RV's. They are Goodyear and Michelin. All of the rest are truck tires.

  • AB, let me be the first one to welcome you to RV.Net! Do your tire research when you find the tire Brand and model that you like, then by that model in the highest sidewall rating possible. Right now I believe the highest sidewall ratings are H.
  • I put Continental HSR2's on my 05 Allegro Bus. My next tire if needed will be the same

    Do a search as other poster has suggested. must be 1000 posts on here asking the same thing

    Michelins are over rated and way over priced and don't stand up or last any better than some cheaper ones.I just installed two continental 2958022.5 drive tires and they ride and steer just great
    and 250Per tire cheaper than michelins
