tires finally did it

finally changed my michlin 235 80 22.5 tires to toyo 245 75 22.5 did it all my self a little heavy but doable tires were 8 years old showed a little signs of cracking but when I stretched the bead of the tires over the rim you could see how bad the cracks were change your tires before its to late
  • Changing tires is not an impossible task but certainly one I do not enjoy. As long as you take your time and don't do anything stupid, it is just another FREE exercise program. No need to pay money and join a gym as long as you stay active.
    I think around here, changing a tire and balancing it runs about $40-$50 each, so you saved yourself a lot of money and did something to help keep you in shape. With the online tire shops, you can also get tires delivered right to your house.
  • Ive had 19.5in Toyos on my coach for a year. Check them every month and have never had to add air. Great driving tires also, very positive road feel.
  • Goods tires. I just put over 3k miles on my Toyos that I bought last month.
  • Good for you! It's great when you can do things for yourself. As I sit here reading your post wishing for my younger years and not even giving a second thought to doing things like that ( not that I'm that old). But those things caught up to me. Couple ruptured disks doctor says needs surgery ( not happening).

    Screwed them up lifting a case of water at Costcos yesterday. My wife says I should have let her do it :o

    But I get it - ours will be replaced after 6 no matter what.
