purchase of older stored motorcoach

Round ones that fit! :B :B Sorry couldn't resist. Has some to do with what size and what is available in your area. We have Michelins but that is what the coach came with and when they weather checked early Michelin picked up part of the tab.

Some on here swear by several of the off-brands, Hancock and some others. Others complain they would never use Korean or Chinese tires! This big a tire is only built here for this market they are bulky and heavy to gain anything shipping them around.

Key items make sure the tire fits and has the proper weight capacity. Don't get carried away upping the weight capacity you will just pay more and get a harder ride.

Oh on the age look for the DOT code on the tires, it is molded into the sidewall near the rim on one side. Last 4 digits are week and year of manufacture, WWYY so week 3 of 2005 would be shown as 0305.

Good luck hope it checks out good with the mechanic.

Newbie to the forum and rving... We bought a 2000 Tiffin Allegro Zephyr that has not been used much for the last 8 years but we have seen it and it is in a heated shed. We have a mechanic checking it out for us tomorrow. The tires look great but are original. We are wondering if it safe to drive any distance at all before putting tires on it. It has about 50,000 miles and owner says he has used it occasionally for trip to lake.

If the tires are original and have 50k miles on them, then they are 14 year old RV tires with 50k!!!!!

The only place I would drive that (possibly) is to the tire shop! They need to come off NOW.
