Tires??
John: Than you for that info. I own a small fllet of both on road and
off road trucks, forklifts and tractors. I am fully aware of the
problems with vehicle weights and load ranges. If this were a truck the
decision would be a no brainer. But a MH is a whole other story.
Especially in a 12R22.5. These would of course be LRH which will easily
handle the weight of an FC35. Besides increasing LR without making sure
the other factors ( wheels, suspension axles, etc.) can take the weight
is a waste of time. There are not many 12R tires that are recommended
for motorhome use. Using tires designes for an 18 wheeler or a 53 ft.
trailer will cause lots of problems. The Michelins are designed for RV
use. This usually means they have additives to prevent UV damge, are
quiet and handle well These items are not important to a tractor
trailer owner. Maybe I should have worded my question better: Which
other mfrs. have tires suitable for our applications and does anyone
have experience with thee tires; good or bad. As for the Toyos: Toyo is
not making motorhome tires and are now recommending that you NOT use
their tires on a motorhome.
