Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
from a firestone site
"While the Bridgestone R227, M729 and M840 are high quality tyres most suitable for long haul operation and Firestone FS400 and FD600 are quality tyres more suited to short haul operation, the Firestone `Super' range is ideal for any operation and offers exceptional value for money." --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Tom Warner > > If anyone wants Firestone FS400 bus tires in 12R22.5 I can have them > shipped to texas for $395 each > > tom warner > At 11:45 AM 5/18/2007, you wrote: > > >--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Jack and Liz Pearce" > > > > > > > > Howdy. > > > Jack made the rounds of the tire dealers in San Antonio about 3 weeks > > > ago.

Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
Hi Michael,
Thanks for that update with the 315's... I just bought new 12's this April, so I plan that I will be using these for the next seven years... Sea Ya Larry NYC 84 35FCSB ----- Original Message ---- From: mbrund <mbrund@...> To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:41:49 AM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX I can tell you based on my experence that 315's have a space issue with the stock 8.5" rims and spacing that came on my coach. I just replaced the Michelins with Firestones, the spacing between the drive axles is just about an inch when the bus is aired up and running 105 PSI in he drive tires. If I dump the tag the tires touch. As it turns out, this did not change from the Michelins to the Firestones, they both appear to have the same sidewall flex. So be careful if you are looking to go from 12R's to 315's as they are about 1" wider and cause spacing issues in the drive tires.

Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
Michael
I Did not see, where I was looking when I was researching the BFG's, did it say that the 315's would be OK on 8.5" rims, they specifically said 9" rims for the 315's, so I did not even give them a second thought... Which I find unusual as BFG's are made by Michelin... I think the BFG's are just as good as the Michelin's as they are made in the same plants... And at $132.00 less on each tire, I think it is worthwhile... Sea Ya Larry NYC 84 35FCSB ----- Original Message ---- From: mbrund <mbrund@...> To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:46:22 AM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX Actually. both the Michelins and Firestones state you can use 315's on 8.5" rims. The issue really is, does the rim have enough offset to allow the correct tire spacing between duals. And I can say that the ones that came on my coach do not as they are too close for my comfort. But the coach ran on 315's for ten years before I got it, with 15K a year avg and never had a tire failure. The tires do not touch when axles are aired up, just really close. They do touch when the tag is down. The big concern is, since the spacing is so close, it is possible to pickup a small stone and take out both tires.

Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
Not sure about the BF Goodrich 315's, the ones you where looking at
my have been load range L tires. The Firestone FS400 load range L are also not supported on 8.25", only 9". But the load range J can be mounted on 8.25" or 9", not sure why, just that both Michelin and Firestone say that the load range J tires can. Go figure....

Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
Michael,
Yes, those were the ones I was looking at and then moved on, as they were only available for the 9" wheels... Bought the 12R22.5 LR H... Sea Ya Larry NYC 84 35FCSB ----- Original Message ---- From: mbrund <mbrund@...> To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 10:40:25 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX Not sure about the BF Goodrich 315's, the ones you where looking at my have been load range L tires. The Firestone FS400 load range L are also not supported on 8.25", only 9". But the load range J can be mounted on 8.25" or 9", not sure why, just that both Michelin and Firestone say that the load range J tires can. Go figure....

Which I find unusual as BFG's are made by Michelin... I think the BFG's are just as good as the Michelin's as they are made in the same plants... And at $132.00 less on each tire, I think it is worthwhile.. . > > Sea Ya > Larry > NYC > 84 35FCSB > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: mbrund <mbrund@...> > To: WanderlodgeForum@ yahoogroups. com > Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:46:22 AM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Actually. both the Michelins and Firestones state you can use 315's on > > 8.5" rims.
