Lets talk about the diff between 19.5 and 22.5's on Gassers

Aside from IMO better looks what are the benefits to units with 22.5 wheels on Class A gas units? Can you convert a 19.5 set-up to 22.5's?

Chassis weight, tire wear
And no, i don't think you can get 22.5 to fit your 19.5 RV
Unless you want to try and lift it up to look like a Monster Truck

Price is significant higher per tire
Just read some of the tire threads taking brands and pricing
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

Yes, read that BIG change in effective rear axle ratio.

I would think that the 22.5s have a higher weight capacity, but that's ultimately going to be limited by your chassis rating. I would also think that the larger tires would ride significantly better and may wear a little better. As for converting them, there is probably an adapter that would need to be used to attach to the hubs. With that alone, I would NOT want to convert. Anything that needs an adapter becomes a weak point.
