Love my Dually valves can check air in just a few minutes. Dick

I stopped purchasing tires at Schwab's in Fallon, the misinformation was amazing. They need to spend more money on training their staff.

I want to replace our tires on our 34 Super C Seneca. We are looking at Michilen and Toyo. Does anyone have positive or negatives about Toyo?

Id take the Toyo's 50 times before Id mount a michie!!

I highly recommend Toyo's. We have them on all our fire engines. Very reliable. We have had no issues with those tires, and our fully loaded fire engines and trucks are quite a bit heavier than most MH's.

I used the Toyo 143s for steer tires and 608Z for the drives, next time it will be the 920s for the drives; if you do not need the drive tire aggressiveness use the 143s all around, they are an all position tire.

We tried several other brands of 19.5" tires on our fleet. The Toyos last 2-3 times as long, as well as riding and driving better. We generally ran the 608s. For a motorhome you M920 is probably the best riding and handling, as long as you don't need an aggressive off-road tread.

We've tried other tire chains, and ended up back as Les Schwab's. The excellent, on-time service was the main reason (a day of down time at the other shops was too much impact), but also cover any road hazard damage no questions asked. The other chains are good at making excuses.

The only negative is that Les Schwab is about the only dealer around here that sells them and Les is very high priced. I bought my Toyo tires from Discount Tire (possibly known as America's Tire in other locales) and they were very happy to match web pricing while Les wasn't really interested in my business. Saved about 20%.

I agree with the others - great tires!

I can turn the radio off and drive down the road and hear no tire noise with Toyo's. plus they are made in the state of washington. they are a very good tire.

I just put my second set of new Toyos on my TV. I also run Toyos on my 5er, 5 years new and still looking great.

Edit: Like punomatic, I will probably replace them at 7 years just on principal. I'm finding, as the years go by, that everything gets old. Even me. :(
