RV vs Truck tires.
So its time for me to change my current tires even though id hate too. I currently am running GY 670's and had a blow out this weekend. Tires purchased in 2009 and only 20k on them. Tires look new but...

"I was quoted H rated Sumitomos for $2,100 any thought on these? i also looked at hankooks as ive seen them mentioned in the forum but did not receive a price on them yet."
I replaced my Mich's with Sumitomos. They are a great tire, and mine were $300 out the door, with Equal beads...so $1800.
I didn't bother reading all of the replies, because this is likely the 1847th thread on tires, and they all say the same two things:
1) GY and/or Michelin are the ONLY SAFE TIRES ON THE ROAD AND YOU'RE AN IDIOT IF YOU SACRIFICE THE SAFETY OF YOUR FAMILY FOR A FEW THOUSAND $$$
2) There are many very acceptable brands on tires on the market. Do some research, and choose what's right for you. Your tires don't know if there's a truck or an RV riding on them.
I bought mine based on the recommendation of a family-owned tire business that services many of the trucks in the area. They've been selling Sumis for a long time, and have never had an issue or a complaint. If they did, they wouldn't be selling them, or they'd be out of business.
