How important is tire size to your selection?
Some motorhomes have 22.5 tires while others have 19.5. The style, meaning price point is the same. But as I said they have different size tires. How important is that in the big selection process?

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is tire cost. There is a significant cost difference between 19.5"s and 22"s when the time comes (every 5 years). Yes, the 22"s carry more weight and typically will ride a bit better, but if the rig's GVWR can accommodate 19.5"s, I don't see a huge downside. I can also change a 19.5" flat on my own (although I certainly won't "enjoy" it); not sure I could do the same with 22"s.
more like 7-yrs for us. we estimate the cost of a new set of 6-tires adjusted for inflation in 7-years and the divide that amount by 84 and set aside the result in dollars out of our monthly budget. if we want $5000 for new tires we would set aside $60 each month. painless.
