Possible Samson Tire Issues, Maybe Not Worth The Savings
My motorhome came with all 6 new Samson tires installed by dealer before purchase, however I think the Samson tires are not worth the money at this point, 1st off my front tires started to make a loud humming noise at 55-65 mph, thinking I had front bearing issues at 30,000 miles I spent $300 on bearing repack, shop said bearings were fine, humming noise still exist, tried different air pressure and humming still exist just at different speeds but still around my 62 mph preferred speed, so I installed centramatic balancers and rotated front tires side to side, humming still exist.
At this point I am about to replace 2 near new tires {4000} miles with date code of 2012, I think I am going to try Kumho tires, had them on my last motorhome and they were smooth and quiet, however this will cost me about $700 and hope this fixes the problem humming noise.
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.
