Tire Dealer in OR

[bluwtr49]

While we're in OR I am going to buy new front tires for the coach. More than likely either Hankook or Toyo in 12R X22.5 size.

I'm looking for recommendation on a good tire dealer recommendation in the area of Albany, Lebanon, Junction City.

Thanks for any input.

There is a Les Schwab in Albany at 2875 Santiam HWY SE. It is a huge lot,easier that the Junction City store to get in to.

Phone 546 926 2226

They installed a lot of tires here at the FMCA rally last week.

Keep in mind that L. Schwab is just a tire business and they can also mess up if you're not watching.

Once had one of their 'truck tire' shops set my lug nuts at 125 ft-lbs instead of 450 ft-lbs, it was pretty exciting when 3 of them let loose on the freeway at 60 MPH. In a different shop, I loaned the tech my jack stand to rest his tool on while trying to break the lug nut free (he didn't know that's what the notch in the middle of the saddle on the jack stand was for), because their air impact tool didn't have the oomph? I'm glad I was there watching so he didn't round off the edges of the lug nuts struggling with getting them loosened using a long breaker bar and socket. As it was, he busted his knuckles pretty good a couple times when the socket slipped off the lug nut before I stepped in with help.

I prefer to be nearby when they're working on the rig so I can keep an eye on things, tell them the ft-lbs & PSI I want, and to their credit, LS shops let you hang around nearby.

I'd suggest that whoever you use you keep an eye on things.

Thanks for all the input. I think I'll try Les and see if they can help.

Call ahead to MR Schwab and get late date tires. Prineville is their home base and tire warehouse. I have done this a couple of times although I do drop in at Prineville and not been disappointed they will ship NEW tires to the shop of your choice. And I love being called SIR even if it's just an air check.
