Just wondering does anyone here have Samson tires and are having the same noise issues as I am.
Here is a pic of my current tire, Note the tread is not the issue, must be tire construction or something.
My experiance with Samson (size) 8R19.5 tires on my last RV was terrible! After getting two blowouts on my old GY G159's I had to buy some tires quick and did not have the funds, so I opted for the Samson (same one as shown in photo) for $124 vs. GY for $275. I replaced the four rear tires. I had GY G647 on the front and GY G159 in the rear. Before I replaced the old GY with Samsons, my RV handled superbly well, after mounting the Samsons, it was all over the road, to the point, that it felt scary to drive it. I had the whole steering/suspension checked to make sure something wasn't worn or broken, and all was in good working order. I don't know if it would have felt any different if my steer tires were Samson too, but after that experience, NEVER AGAIN for Samsons! The GY G647/G159 were excellent in every way, the only thing I didn't realize is the G159 were not made for high speed, plus mine were old too. If I would have followed my truck driver friend's advice of not exceeding 65mph, I probably would not have had the blowouts. Some times I am thick headed and learn the hard way.
My current RV has the GY671RV 265/75R22.5 tires, which have been excellent with the exception of the left front tire having rivering wear issues. The tires are getting old too, so I am probably going to replace them either with Toyo or GY661HSA tires.
It sounds like there is another issues here at play. Was it the same load range as the previous tire?
