NEW TIRES for the Kodiak- 225/70/19.5's
Tires always seems like a "hot topic". Long story short...current tires manufactured in 2007 (goodyears). One blew this year, replaced it with a Michelin XRV. Was going to match up 5 new ones (...

I put Goodyear G647 tires in the 245 size on my Kodiak. Seems to be easier to find 245 tires than 225. Got 10,000 miles on them now and still like the ride and handling.
Didnt think of changing sizes. There didnt seem like a lot of room between the rears with the 225's, would running 245's leave enough room between them? I would guess so if thats what you run.
I am most interested in going to the "G" rated tire with increased carrying capacity.
I really think my coach is rear weight biased. And slightly to the pax side also. Just visually she seems lower in the rear and when I look at her from the back, a slight "lean" to the pax side (where the generator is mounted). I never fill the water tank as that is over 800lbs added as far back as you can get....couple that with any tongue weight while towing and it really picks up the weight on the rear. I am not using the tires to be able to carry more, just as insurance to what is already being carried. Found a place in town that can give me good front/rear weights...hopefully side to side also.
Almost looks like I could use an extra leaf spring added into the back.
