Need Tires

[kemer]

I have a 2014 Winnebago and am looking to replace tires. CUrrently the tires are Michelin 235 80 R22.5 Having problems finding the same tire, and would consider another brand. Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks

My Firestone FS561's were manufactured the 19th week of 2017 and they are on a low milage Class A. After reading the materials on the Firestone website (the Data Book), I didn't find any information about recommended replacement due to age. They have an enhanced casing warranty until 6.5 years after mfg so that may be a clue. Weather/ozone cracking after 4 years from date of tire manufacture, regardless of date of purchase is not covered. Normal warranty is 6 years. I'm hoping that these are a 10 year tire. No visible ozone aging. Does anyone have the recommended replacement schedule for these tires? Thanks

Just put Firestone FS561’s on this year so far very pleased with them.
They replaced 10 year old Samson’s that were a great tire.

Same here, over rated and way over priced. Check cracking issues.

Look at Firestone FS561. All position tire used on many trucks. Toyo didn't have the size I needed and I couldn't take any wider on rear due to body clearance when aired down. Nice ride so far at about 1500 milesTANDD

AH11? AH35?

Just replaced the original Goodyears with Toyos last month.
Very happy with them. I also had a set of Borg Dually Valve stems
installed at the same time. I would highly recommend them.
No more dealing with crimped or leaking extensions.

Now the thing with Toyo's is they don't have the tread life (in miles) of a Michelin, but on an RV... You never wear out the tread so what does it matter (They age out first).

I also ordered up a set of Duly Valves and had them installed at tire change
If you have duals on the rear I strongly and I mean STRONGLY recommend you do likewise.

May I ask what Belle Tire in Michigan did you go to??? Any Belle Tire I've been to say they don't deal with 22.5's.

Doesn't have to be the identical tire just the same size. Last ones we bought were Michalein 285x55x22.5 "Steer Axle Tires" on all positions. They have a center groove for tracking and a decoupling? grove around both edges. Not cheap but tires, I don't remember on the rear but front or steer ties took i/4 ounce on one wheel and no weight at all, none, on the other wheel. Coach rode a whole lot better with more flexible sidewalls. Most for semis are rock hard on much much lighter Motor Home.
Goodyear G670s have longer lives but stiffer and o decoupling groove, if you have had a problem with Rivering.

I buy any tire other than a Michelin, but that's just me.

Currently we're riding on Bridgestones.

My Toyos have 60,000 miles on them. Lots of tread left--but they age out in spring of 2022.

I went Toyo this time, Michelin hasn't done anything but let me down with their garbage product.
