Tires
Yesterday, we had the rear tires changed on the Mh.
The new Michelins 275x80x22.5.
The old GY670s had no checks and the rubber was as supple as the day they were put on, with just some road dirt on tires with sides facing each other, and bit of shoulder wear on one tire.
I can't help wonder if they wouldn't have went another 13 years.
The tread wqs about as deep as new.
I was told by the Salesman that the new tires were guaranteed for 7 years. The Mgr said there is no general life on mfg defects.
No warranty on checks etc. Said that was normal.
Salesman again said most Mhs because of the way they are used life is expected to be about 7 years or so. generally the tire should last about 10 years. The 7 years was on semis which are driven about every day. And the casings are good for two recaps.
Price with FMCa was 2860.00 and change with discount was quoted 2784. then when we had signed the paper, he said the actual total would be a little more when it came out of our account because of cost, of tires. Excuse me. He told us it would be a little less than quoted, over the phone.
They didn't have a wrench to remove center caps, but we did but couldn't find it.Sp pliers and rag. Two new caps about 7.00 coming up.
He said they did a lot of motorhomes and when I went in he asked which motor home he had three coming. Yeah right.
Asked him when we left why he didn't have wrenches for the center caps, oh that would cost me thousand of dollars for wrenches for all the different ones. Huh?
The Guy needs to be pushing a broom instead of manger of a Michelin Co store.
Said they would see what they could do when we called, about washing some salt off rims in between form a dealer in Indiana.
Got there oh we don't do that. We don't even have a hose out there.
No cooperation. So well I will get the windex and wipe them. Can't get back in the coach, safety thing.
So 16 ply Michelins all round and ride is smoother. Will have to adjust air pressure. 105 in rear and 90 in front right now. Lot of footprint.
120 lbs on sidewall.
Not sure what to set them at. Totally different sidewall etc from Goodyear
