Does Anyone Know Anything About OMNI tires?
Jack,
Tires ought to get even more discussion than batteries!!! Omni tires -- check out this web site for American Omni Trading Company <http://www.american-omni.com/home.php> It appears that they sell a variety of brands of tires made in China. I don't know how good (or bad) such tires are... but one assumes that they meet the minimum government guidelines by being rated by DOT. That, however, is faint praise, indeed. My coach has Toyo tires purchased from Les Schwab. Les Schwab has some of the best service for tires of any dealer -- however, they're pretty much limited to the west coast and intermountain region. The Toyo tires were considered by the previous owner as being the most cost effective. Toyo did have some trouble with National RV and Country Coach Class 'A' motorhomes (involving overloaded tires/ axles) so they have officially backed off from offering their tires to RVers... but that wouldn't stop you from buying this brand if you wish. 2-1/2 years ago, the Toyo tires on my coach cost about $300 each, installed. You can examine the various models with features and benefits on the Toyo web site, if you wish. Consider the typical use you plan, especially the trip length and speeds. Some tires are designed to maximize tread life -- but for an RV that's usually not the primary issue as RV tires tend to "time out" rather than "wear out." <http://www.toyo.com/docs/tires/tires.asp...commercial> I would tend to want tires that are well recognized as being solid performers with a good reputation. The value of my coach and my interest in my continued good health are such that I'm not likely to seek to save money where such importance rests. I would seek out the best, most well regarded tire service in my area and discuss the pros and cons of each of several alternative choices to arrive at one that will provide safety and traction in all likely driving conditions. The factors I consider most highly for my coach are somewhat different from those I'd consider on my automobiles. Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
