Tires??

[George Lowry]

Bruce,

FWIW, I won't have Michelins on any of my coaches. I have had many
failures with the Michelin tires, in fact one on the BBWL. On our '95
WL, we replaced the Michelins with Toyos. Ride was about the same and
cost was much less. Bought them at Les Schwab Tires. IIRC it ran about
$270 each, installed and balanced. I use Equal for balancing. best way
we have found.
