Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(

[Larry]

I Did not see, where I was looking when I was researching the BFG's, did it say
that the 315's would be OK on 8.5" rims, they specifically said 9" rims for the
315's, so I did not even give them a second thought... Which I find unusual as
BFG's are made by Michelin... I think the BFG's are just as good as the
Michelin's as they are made in the same plants... And at $132.00 less on each
tire, I think it is worthwhile...

Actually. both the Michelins and Firestones state you can use 315's
on

8.5" rims. The issue really is, does the rim have enough offset to

allow the correct tire spacing between duals.



And I can say that the ones that came on my coach do not as they are

too close for my comfort. But the coach ran on 315's for ten years

before I got it, with 15K a year avg and never had a tire failure.

The tires do not touch when axles are aired up, just really close.

They do touch when the tag is down.



The big concern is, since the spacing is so close, it is possible to

pickup a small stone and take out both tires.

315 was you needed a 9" rim, that is why I did not look into them at

the time... Did you change over to 9" rims, or were they already on

the coach???
