Tire Question...12R22.5

[John]

Bill,
I was looking at the charts earlier....The larger ones do have a
higher load capacity. I think the 11Rs would probably be ok for the
weight, but I was looking at the size of the acceptable wheels(rims).
Depending on which rims are on the coach, the 11Rs might not be
compatible anyway. I was also concerned about lowering the ground
clearance if they are shorter as well. I will probably just stick with
the 12R22.5s
