Tires and ride on a Wanderlodge

[birdshill123]

I am at Beaudry's in Tucson as I write this. I did a walk about (in
the desert heat) and this is an unofficial survey of what tires are
being used on new units. High end and low end. About 70% are Good year
G670. The rest are Michelin. I think Good year has made a big push to
get market share in the RV industry. These are the only 2 mfrs. that
SPECIFICALLY make an Rv tire. Toyo did but after law suit fights with
Country Coach they do not recommend their tires on many RV's. The
Chinese tires are TRUCK tires. Whole other thing. They use different
tires on the steer and driving axles. Go to any big truck stop or HD
truck dealer and look at the Brands.Almost all are major: Good Year,
Michelin, Bridgestone, etc. No Chinese tires to be found. If the big
fleets thought they could save a few bucks a tire they would switch in
a heartbeat. But they do not. Neither will I ! A few hundred dollars
vs. safety? A no brainer.
