My New 19.5's finally arrived!
Ordered my not Vision wheels and tires, in May. So those of you who have ordered wheels from _____ know how long and frustrating a process it can be. But here is the exciting day at long last.
I know the UPS delivery guy was thinking how weird I must be taking his photo of somebody getting tires.
Ummm, what's wrong with this picture? I asked the delivery guy, where the 4th tire was as I am looking into his truck getting ready to climb in myself. Hey buddy, I've only got three but the computer does show a total of 4 sooo, don't worry about it. Of course by know I should expect nothing less from the ____ wheel company. The slow wheel/tire showed up at my front door the next day. I should probably keep my eye on that one as I expect it likes to take alternate routes from the group.
I purchased Firestone FD 690 plus 245/70R-19.5 G rated tires. Really deep tread and IMO, a good mix for street / back roads.
The thing I like about _____ wheels is that they match OEM backspacing. I also believe they have outstanding mounting and balancing. After installing the tires I drove on surface streets and then on the freeway up to 70 mph and it was totally smooth and vibration free. I haven't experienced them yet on a lot of different surfaces yet but the ride didn't seem any harsher to me.
I am glad I now have the 19.5's. I really like having the extra strength and safety margin. I think 19.5's are an excellent product for SRW truck campers. If you decide to order wheels from company____, not Vision, then expect delays. Expect 4-6 months or longer, they will eventually arrive. But: DO NOT listen to the company president. I don't care what he is telling you, I wouldn't listen to him. I was told I would get my order late July, then early August, then late August, then early September, finally 3 out of 4 arrived September 30th. JUST DON"T LISTEN TO HIM. The lady that takes your order seems to know what she's doing.
