Tire Recommendations

Not looking to replace our tires yet, but looking to add a spare. Rig came with Hankook Dynapro HT LT225/75R16, load rating of 115/112 (E) for single/dual and speed rating of S (112 mph). Have not run Hankook before and wondering about quality and longevity. I used to run Michelin, but based on the reviews, it looks like their quality may be slipping a little. What is everyone running on their Class C's? I'm looking for a spare now but would like to match the set when the time comes...Thanks!
  • Since we never know what kind of weather conditions we're going to wind up in when traveling in our Class C, I use combination mud and snow tires on our RV all the time. I would NEVER have the smooth, highway tread type tires on our rig.

    Also since tire brands are so competitive, I figure that the more expensive tires are probably "better made" .. . or they wouldn't be around long. So far we have only used a couple of different designs of Load Range E Michelin tires on our Class C - they've been quiet, had great traction in a wide variety of situations, and seem to wear forever (with 60K-70K mileage tread wear warranties).
  • Spare?
    I’d buy whatever I could find for $50 on Craigslist that isn’t too old.
    New tire? Who cares, it’s a spare. It’s not like you’re trying to optimize ride, longevity, whatever. It’s meant to get you the rest of the way to point B when you had a flat halfway there.
  • Hankook Dynapro HT original tires on my class c. Same size as stated.
    VG tire. Been running them 15,000. Quiet , they are wearing well . Great on dry or wet roads. I also drive them on hard-pack dirt roads that can sometimes be muddy. No problems. Would buy again.
  • I highly recommend the Firestone Transforce HT tire. On my 3rd set and never had a flat or blowout.
  • We have General Tires-- Grabber, HTS, M+S tires on ours with no problems. They are made in U.S. and are owned by Continental Tire Co.
  • The more tires on the road, the more bad reports you will read. Doesn't mean their quality is slipping IMO.
