315/80 vs 12R - was Overweight

[Jim Riordan]

Interesting thread...just bought 8 michelin 12r22.5 tires $660 mounted and
balanced, best deal I could find in my area. Anybody interested in 8 six year
lightly used tires?? While inspecting rims I found one cracked rear wheel lug
hole out about three inches both ways, got a NEW replacement accuride (was 27471
now 28615) for $400 from fleet pro in Orlando. That wheel is available also!

think an RV'r would install Michelins for read wear. AS you stated we will never
wear them out. I just installed 6 Michelin XZE's on our 88FC35. I went for
Michelin because they are the best. Better handling for one. You have to be very
carefull when buying truck tires for an RV. Some are steer axle only. Some are
drive axle only. I look at what the buses in Mexico run and it is Michelin by a
long shot. There are cheaper options and I happen to think there is a reason why
they spend the extra money. It is one thing to buy a cheap battery. If it fails
you get another. Tires are the only thing between you and the road. If it
fails..................!
