275/70/22.5 will usually replace the 235/80. Certainly did on my previous coach. If you don't feel you have to drink the Michelin Kool Aid, Hancock AH-12's are a very good tire. Not cheap but not as pricey as Michelin.

I agree, Hankook for one is a great tire for an RV.

When I bought my coach used, I wanted to replace all the tires. I consulted with a friend who had just sold all FIVE of his Goodyear stores. His advice, based upon years of selling various brands and monitoring tire failures was " I would not consider any tire except Michelin for a coach. Michelin simply makes a stronger, safer tire and I saw much fewer tire failures". We travel backroads in the mountains a lot. I want to decrease as much as possible the chance of tire failure on one of those narrow curving roads. I am getting ready to put my second set of Michelins on after five years. To me, the extra confidence I get with Michelins, whether real or imagined is worth the extra money.

I'd worry about the 255-75-R22.5's if they are 1" wider there is a possibility that on the rear the tires would touch each other on the bottom where they squish out slightly under load. You never want the rear dual tires to touch each other, you generate more heat an and increased chance of a blow out due to the rubbing.

245/75R22.5

I believe most using that size (which I think is now discontinued) are using 255-75-R22.5.

It is nearly an inch wider, but very near the same height.

Why do you want a different size?
How much room is left in your wheel wells?
What width are your wheels?
What MH are we even talking about?
