safe to change tire size?
Recently purchased a 38' Dutch star and it needs new tires. It currently has the 255/80r22.5's across the rear and 275/70r22.5's on the steers. The only tires available in 255/80's are the Michillen...

Mike: The 235/80R22.5 is a Michelin size. The equivalent by other mfgr is 245/75R22.5, same specs, diameter and loading. Load Range G
255/80 CAN be replaced with 265/75R22.5 in most every case. Just verify rim width, dual spacing and suspension/body clearance.
235/80R22.5 is a completely different size/issue.
DANG!
I captured the wrong quote. This is the one I should have posted: will fix above, too.

These tire sizes by other manufacturers are direct replacements for the Michelin specific sizes.
Popular RV tire size equivalents:
.. Michelin..to...Goodyear, Toyo etc
235/80R22.5 = 245/75R22.5
255/80R22.5 = 265/75R22.5
275/80R22.5 = 295/75R22.5
