Just a quick question about replacement tires on a Class A.
Has anyone ever run Goodyear G 661 HSA (245/70R/19.5)
If so what is your opinion?
They price of the G670 RV tire sort of going out of sight.
Thanks in Advance for any help

I am currently running a set of the G 661 HSA tires, size 245/75R 22.5.
They have been on a tad over 10K miles. So far, I have no problems with them.
I have always run Goodyears and have no complaints so far.
Toward the end of last season, I bought a pair of 661's to replace my front steers which were both worn on one side due to bad ball joints and Tie Rods that I had since had replaced. Except for the outside edges of both fronts, the rest of the tire was good. So, we flipped the tires and exchanged sides. Spartan said I still had plenty of good rubber to run out the season. So, I have yet to put them on, but will probably be doing so when getting the rig out of storage next month. I haven't heard any negatives about the 661's.
I decided to try the 661's for the same reason that Rambler mentioned -the price on the G670's has gone sky high and the Michelins weren't any better (price). The 670's were over $150. more (each) than the 661's. I'll know better when I get them on and run them for awhile. Make no mistake, I'm not one to scimp on tires due to the price, but there comes a point that the wallet can only put out so much.
Some like Goodyears while others will have no part of them. Then again, it seems to be the same with Michelins too. Whatever works best for you and your rig is what really matters.
