Tire Advise and Opinions

[mhbell]

I am needing some tire advice and opinions
I need to purchase 6 new tires for my Four Winds Hurricane 31D GVWR 18000 Lbs, GAWR Front 7000 Lbs 80 PSI, Gawr Rear 11000 Lbs 80 PSI
I don't want a real expensive tire, but want something reliable. So far I can get Samson GL283A 245/70R 19.5 Out the door mounted and balanced with new stems for $1295 Or I can go Dayton D520S with Regular Balance or Equal Balance for $1587 Both tires are 16 ply. Do I really need 16 ply tires? Would 14 ply tires ride smoother? Anyone with experience using Samson or Dayton Tires? I have read many posts on Samson but none on Dayton. All posts are old ones and not to valid today. I need recent input. I will weigh the coach when I get it loaded so I can adjust tire pressure accordingly. Please if you have used these tires Let me know your opinion of them. Past and present. I only Drive 5000 to 6000 miles a Year. One 2500 mile round trip to Texas and the rest are 300 to 400 miles.

I agree with you 100 percent, However Dayton tires are the second tier of Bridgestone tire company. I see no reason to pay $400 a tire when a $200 tire will do just as good on a GVWR 18000 Lb Rig. Especially when it is driven so little and mostly short trips. If it was a GVWR 26000 Lb rig or heavier I could see spending more for a Michlin or Goodyear tire for RV's. JMHO.
