need help replacing tires: 295/80R 22.5

Without weighing your coach, NO. Do you know how much pressure is needed in your front tires? Until you know this you cannot go to an 11R22.5 as it does not have as much load carrying as a 295/80/22.5. I'm running Hankook 11R22.5 on the back of my MH (which I like) and I had to increase my rear pressures by 10 psi over the 295's I replaced. On the rear this was not a problem as I was only running 85 in the 4 drive tires and 75 in the tag. There is only a slight change in speedo readings... not enough to worry about.
NO WAY could I run 11R22.5 on the front and I even went with 315/80/22.5 on the front over the original 295 that required 110 psi for my weight. On a previous DP I put Toyo on and liked them.

Brett, how are you finding the time to post on here... OK you're on tomorrow.

There are several links in the link above, including pricing for various RV tires.

Would use of these tires be determental... Depends .. In my case likely yes, since they are narrower and slightly smaller in diamater they will have LESS rubber on the road.. This means you need MORE PSI to hold up the motor home and I am running the max.

in your case, without running the rig over a scale and getting the 4 corner weights, And then comparing the weights to the tire's PSI requirements and max load. No way to tell.

IF the tire is up to carrying your RV.. then the Semi Tire will give a slightly rougher ride.. Somethine I very likely would never notice.. But you might.

No problem at all, Sir.

I'm running Hankook tires and couldn't be happier. 3 years and 15,000 miles so far and have never needed air except to compensate for ambient temperature fluctuations.

Might be worth a look.

I had failures on both front Toyos ( not at the same time ). The blowout on the left took me across the road and wound up with $23,000 damage. Lucky no oncoming traffic. New Lexus ES350 came with Toyos. Lousy tires, couldn't wait to wear them out. 20K later new Michelins made all the difference. You get what you pay for. Obviously no more Toyos for me.

Original Michelin tires have been quoted at $5443 for six. Have been given price for "Toyo" tires size 11R 22.5 for $3298 cost, which are a semi-truck tire. Was told these tires would be "slightly" narrower, and just 1/10 inch shorter. Would use of these tires be detrimental for use on RV?

No they would not be detrimental to your RV. I see a lot of RV's running big truck tires.

I saved over a thousand dollars on Michelins through my Family Motor Coach membership discount.
