Have a newer Jayco Greyhawk?

Do you have a newer Greyhawk? If so, what tires is Jayco and Ford putting on them now? I have an 09 and am looking to put new tires on it and was wondering what they were coming with from the factory these days. Thanks!

    x2 Any new Ford RV chassis I've seen has Michelin LTX. Would now be LTX M/S2. There are plenty of Which Tire? threads. Threads about Treads, there I said it.
    Firestone TransForce, Michelin LTX or XPS (rib highway), Hankook on the budget end, I just got Bridgestone Duravis R250 (rib highway). There's a new Goodyear that's promising with Kevlar sidewalls.
    Even though Load Range "E" is supposed to carry the same weight in every brand, I'd say stay away from the entry level tires if:
    Rig is Heavy
    You drive Long Distances
    Pavement is Hot
    We don't go far, but coach is very close to GVWR, and pavement is hot. Therefore, R250's at nearly $100 per tire more than TransForce. There ARE "E" tires for not much over $100. Remember, one blowout will cause more dollar damage than a full set of Michelin XPS Ribs.
