tire replacement

[richard_123]

needing to replace Class "A" Michelin 235/80R/22.5 MRV tires. looking at the Hankook tires because of price difference. Size is 255/70r or 75r/22.5. Need input on what others have experienced with the tire or recommendations on a quality tire for MH. motor-home is Winnebago 35z Adventurer, 26000# with V10 engine. we are full timing, with stays from 15-60 days at a time. Probably 12,000 miles max a year. driving the speeds on the highway. if 70mph driving 70mph---staying with traffic.

confused on what is the best 22.5 rv tire for the money.

The OP said he has 235 80 R 22.5 tires. That was the first post.

What size tire-- without that info we can't comment on tire price.

Here in Springfield MO, I am being quoted $1808.00 out the door for 4 mounted Hankook's H12's load range H

and another company has Good Year 661 but in load range J for $2200 out the door.
Not really apples to apples with the good year being 2 ply's thicker.

What do yall think? I am leaning towards saving the $400 and using it for fuel.

have you checked the price of Michelin tires thru FMCA? I also have a Winnebago Adventurer and paid a little over $2400 for a set last November.

FWIW I just replaced 6 tires. 245/70/19.5

My local tire shop had Samsons in stock. $1440 installed. Drove it for about 10 miles at speeds up to 70 MPH and had no issues. No wandering, no tracking, no noticeable tire whine and a previous steering wheel wobble was gone (I'm betting on a former balance issue) Seemed to be a smoother ride than the previous tires.

We'll see how it handles on the next trip (A run to the Grand Canyon in the next week or so)

I put the Toyo's on my rig in Feb this year. Thought I'd give you a comparison for pricing and all, hope it helps. 6 tires 245/70R/19.5, mounted AND balanced, $2,280 tax and everything.
Good luck and great sunsets to you.
Bry.

I need to replace the 4 on the rear some time this year also, let me know what you find out and decide to go with.

You really should look at Toyo's. I think the quality is same or better, I believe the ride is much better. Look for a mobile guy that works with dealerships for the best deals, they usually don't have a store front so their cost is lower.

If you do a search for Hankook on this forum you will get a lot of posts. Hankook has been making inroads into the U.S. market and has provided good products. Ford has been using Hankooks on F150 trucks for several years. The dealer who installed mine last week deals in tires for autos, light, medium, and heavy trucks, as well as RVs. They are a dealer for all Major brands of tires. Upon making my request for replacing my Goodyear GV670 they immediately suggested the Hankook AH11 versus the G670 unless I was determined to spend more money for the Goodyears and still not get a better tire.
Of course time will tell if I made the right choice, but taking into account what other Hankook owners have experienced I think it was a good choice.
