Hankook tires for DP
Pricing 22.5 tires for my 36ft Monaco DP and see several prefixes on their part numbers and was wondering what is for motor homes not dump trucks. Don't want any tire noise for one thing....Thanks

Replaced my Michelins with Hankook several years ago and am very pleased with their performance. One lesson I learned which might help someone else:
Les Schwaab? installed my tires and used beads for balancing. After I left on an extended trip cross country, I checked the air pressure in one of the tires and when I finished I could not stop the air from escaping. To make a long story short, I went to a truck tire shop and found out that when beads are used for balancing, there is a special valve stem which must be used, otherwise the beads get into the valve core and it will not seal.
I called Schwaab later to complain but didn't get any help. I would think that as many tires as they sell that would know of this issue.
This has nothing to do with the brand of tire, just poor business practice.
