Price for tires?

[George Lowry]

Jon,

I believe that Hinnon are made in Korea - not sure though.... Since
the "average" RV is driven only 2,000 miles a year and those of us
that average 15,000 miles per year are high users, based on a five
year life, the mileage varies from 10,000 to 75,000 miles during the
life of the tire. Tires used by RVers typically rot out before they
wear out.

The Toyo has one of the strongest side walls in the industry - five
plies - where as Michelin has one of the weakest side walls - 2 plies.
The weaker side wall is supposed to give a better ride. I did not
notice any difference.

One area that I think many miss is balancing all wheels. Many only
balance the steer axle leaving the drivers and tag unbalanced. Then
they wonder way the ride is rough. I recommend balancing ALL tires. I
have used Equal in all my coach tires for about ten years now and find
it to be a superior product. With Equal, you do not have to constantly
rebalance the tires. I have used Centromatics as well and they work
great. The Equal is cheaper though.

P.S. When you get to Les Schwab, see if they will give you any
trade-in for you old tires. The worse they can say is no....
