Hisham & other PT 42 & 43 owners. A ? about your tire size
We have been running Sumitomo 315 80R22.5 since 11-04. I put about
40k miles on them. There is no problem with the clearances between tires on the drive axle. The only problem I have ever had been when I attempted to back up a steep driveway while cutting the wheels hard to the right. That cause a lot of weight to be transferred to the left front tire. I thought I might have heard rubber rubbing on something. No visible damage on anything. (Come to think about it, it might have been the event that could have cracked my upper left shock mount.) In any case the tires operated fine for the last four years...until last month. Last month my coach started pulling to the right. I took the coach into shop specializing in motor home alignments last week. They found the alignment is just fine. The (knowledgeable) shop owner believes I have a shifted belt in one of my front tires that is causing the tracking problem. In a week or so I am going to move two tires off one side of my drive axle to he front end to test the theory. Point is: The 315s' are fine. I use to think the Sumitomos' were great. They rode nicely and were quiet. If the theory of shifted belts on my front tires is right I have to give a thumbs down on a recommendation of Sumitomos' Eric Perplies 96' 42' WBWL currently outside Ft. Wayne, IN |
