Tire Size

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Welcome to the forum Joe:

Most of the FC's and PT's came out of the Factory with 11 R 22.5's. The 12
R's were an option at the time of ordering. If the 12 R 22.5 option was
ordered, the data plate above the windshield, centered, shows the original
tire that came on that coach.

Safe travels,
