  • I've had good luck with B.F. Goodrich tires, not that particular size however.
  • The tires are a good brand. Make sure they are the right size, width, and weight capacity for your MH.
  • Goodrich is owned by Michelin. They have great tires.
  • Carbone - The day I bought my 1975 GMC Glenbrook 8 years ago I went to Sam's Club and put on all new BF Goodrich tires. Drove them abount 20,000 miles before I sold the coach a little over 4 years ago. They worked great. I am only sorry I sold the GMC. I spent four years fixing it up with an all new interior and exterior and then got bored because I was pretty much done and then sold. GMC's were way way ahead of their time. Of course they suffer from the same problem 70's GM cars suffered with, not so reliable parts. But the ride and driving on those GMCs is fantastic.
  • Oh I almost forgot. GMCs came with 16 1/2" rims and tires. You need to make sure that your Son's GMC has newer / replaced rims that are 16". I had Alcoa rims on mine that were 16".
  • Carbone, I am nowhere near you, so I cannot help with a supplier. I am in upstate NY and just purchased 6- 275X80 XZA3+. Bout gave me a heart attack $545 ea. plus take off mount and balance.
