need help replacing tires: 295/80R 22.5

[kinggeorge1st]

I need to replace oem tires on my 2005 Monaco Windsor 40ft mh.
Original Michelin tires have been quoted at $5443 for six. Have been given price for "Toyo" tires size 11R 22.5 for $3298 cost, which are a semi-truck tire. Was told these tires would be "slightly" narrower, and just 1/10 inch shorter. Would use of these tires be detrimental for use on RV?

I'm running Hankook tires and couldn't be happier. 3 years and 15,000 miles so far and have never needed air except to compensate for ambient temperature fluctuations.

Might be worth a look.

I had failures on both front Toyos ( not at the same time ). The blowout on the left took me across the road and wound up with $23,000 damage. Lucky no oncoming traffic. New Lexus ES350 came with Toyos. Lousy tires, couldn't wait to wear them out. 20K later new Michelins made all the difference. You get what you pay for. Obviously no more Toyos for me.

No they would not be detrimental to your RV. I see a lot of RV's running big truck tires.

I saved over a thousand dollars on Michelins through my Family Motor Coach membership discount.
