Tires: 275/80R 22.5 to 295/80R

[UltimaRV]

Has anybody changed from 275/80R 22.5 to 295/80 size tires? I'm going from my Michelin XZA3s to Hankook 295/80s LRH. The Hankooks are only slightly larger and result in less than 1/2mph difference. Any comments on size and/or the Hankook brand?

I did the change on my 2005 Allegro bus, no problem, plenty of space while driving but I make sure wheels are straight ahead before dumping air to level. Only about 1 inch difference in height of tire.

Be sure to check clearance at full cut angles in front when going from 275/80 to 295/80.

Check that your rims are wide enough as well.

And be aware that you will change effective final drive ratio.

Very encouraging on the Hankook brand. I'll go with that. I have to get the 295/80R 22.5 LRH since a 275/80 or 295/75 (equivent sizes) are not available where I am (southeast Spain). The coach tires in stock are 295/80 load range "159" (bit more load bearing as "H"). It's a tiny bit larger in profile though. Michelin XZA2+ 275/80 were available, but are now discontinued here and the XZA3 were never offered. Michelin USA recommended the new XLEZ series, but that would be dreaming here. More comments on size appreciated. Thanks for the comparison site.

On the lighter side, we introduced the Belgium and Nowegian neighbours to good ol' Aunt Jemima pancakes, syrup, fried eggs and bacon.

Hankook is my brand of choice. Over the last decade MANY RV owners as given testimony that they do very well. The price is a bit more reasonable usually the Michelin and they seem to do just as well.

When I replaced the 295/80s on the rear of my tag coach I went with Hankook 11R22.5...$300 and a very common truck tire because I didn't need the load carrying of a 295 on the rear. Doubt you need it on your rear tires because you have a tag but a 295 would help on the front and the revs are the same.

275/80R22.5 to 295/75R22.5 is very close-- like one revolution per mile different. Both come in both G and H load ranges. Pretty common substitution.

295/80R22.5 is quite a lot bigger tire/fewer revolutions per mile.

I have changed from 275/80R 22.5 to 295/75 on both front and rear on my coach. You should not mix the two sizes in a dual pair.
