Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX :(
Not sure about the BF Goodrich 315's, the ones you where looking at
my have been load range L tires. The Firestone FS400 load range L are also not supported on 8.25", only 9". But the load range J can be mounted on 8.25" or 9", not sure why, just that both Michelin and Firestone say that the load range J tires can. Go figure....

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... > > Sea Ya > Larry > NYC > 84 35FCSB > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: mbrund <mbrund@...> > To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:46:22 AM > Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Not Much Luck Buying Tires for our WL in San Antonio, TX ![]() > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Actually. both the Michelins and Firestones state you can use 315's on > > 8.5" rims.
