Does Anyone Know Anything About OMNI tires?

[birdshill123]

This tire subject is one of the most popular in any RV forum. Probably
because we do not get many years out of the tires. At an average of
5000 miles a year in 7 years they will be barely used but should be
replaced or at least demounted and examined. A lot of us buy tires on
the recommendation of a tire shop or a friend who has heavy equipment.
For an RV I take that advice with caution. What works for a dump truck
or an 18 wheeler is not necessarily correct for a MH. Personally I will
stay away from the Chinese tires. Even the big US mfrs. have had MH
tires that are problematic: Goodyear G159, some Toyos and XRV Michelin.
If these mfrs. cannot get it straight how is Hung Dong or some other
Chinese company going to make a good RV tire? It is tempting as the
cost saving can be $1000 or more. If these off brands were as good as
the big guys you can bet that Fleetwood and others would jump on the
bandwagon. I could be wrong but I think only 2 brands are being used by
the big MH manufacturers: Michelin and Goodyear. Other people will tell
you: I use Brand X as they work good on my pickup. Pickups and MH's are
a totally different application. That is my take on this subject.
