ROADMASTER RM253 for my motorhome?

Looks like it's time for new tires. My rv is a Fleetwood Gas Southwind 32vs on the Workhorse Chassis. Anyone have an opinion on using ROADMASTER RM253 19.5 tires on this unit?

Thanks!
  • I'll be putting the Roadmaster RM170s on the Windy in a couple weeks. They look like the most affordable fit for our driving style: monthly short journeys with the occasional long trip.

    The pricing compared to Goodyears or Michelins is dramatically cheaper, too.

    The RM253 is a drive tire, not an all position tire. It would make a great rear tire if you needed all season traction. You should not use a drive tire in a steer position. I have the RM170 all position tires on our Motorhome. Nice smooth ride.

  • I just put Toyo 19.5's on mine (see rig below). Had RV Mich tire's on it before. I went with the H load rating, standard truck tires. Much better ride and handling. I'm very impressed with them. They came from a large mobile truck tire dealer. All 6 were spin balanced. Got them in early March they had a 01.2014 production date on all 6. $2280 ttl.
