Toyo tires

I am getting ready to buy 4 tires for my DSDP (I replaced the front 2 about 2 yrs. & 11,000 mi. ago). I got a price on Michelin (ouch!!), & Hankook. I have read several posts on this forum about Toyo tires so I called L. Schwab for a price on Toyo and was told they were not available in my size: 275/70R 22.5.

Any ideas?

    Oops just noticed you said you can't get them in your size.

    Didn't have Michelins in my size either. Went with next bigger standard size and they fit fine. I did all 6 at once

    That's strange as I bought 275/70/22.5 Toyo but it's been 12 years ago. Nice tire.
    I was surprised to see Triangle tires on tour buses in Spain this fall.

    I had the same issue on our previous so went with the Hankook. Very pleased and would buy them again without reservation.

    Toyo doesn't make that size, or LS doesn't carry them? Have you tried locating a Toyo dealer on their website?

    The Toyo table I have doesn't show your size. In 22.5" tires it goes from 265 to 295, no 275.

    Correct, Toyo does not make a 275 tire. I went with their model 154 in size 295. These went on the rear drive axle and the fit fine with no rubbing or other problems.

    If you really want Toyo you should be able to get into a close dimensioned tire ok....but the Hankooks should be fine and probably cost a bit less.

    The Hankook AH-12's in that size is a great tire. Had them on my previous DP and was very pleased with them.
