Hisham & other PT 42 & 43 owners. A ? about your tire size

[Kurt Horvath]

Hisham

Your welcome,

I have a question for you. What size tires do you have on your PT-43,
& PT-42 owners? Trying to decide on new tires. I have a placard up on
the celing above the drivers poistion that states 315 75R 22.5 on
22.5 X 9 rims, and another plaqard in the bay the states 12R 22.5
The Michelin tire site has the rating for these tires and the 315's
has almost 3000 lbs more capacity.I haven't checked into all the
dimensions yet. I just wanted an informal survey on tire sizes for
these coaches. Presently I have the 12R 22.5's. I have a cut in a
stear tire and two others that are almost to the dreaded 5 year time
out. So 3 or 4 tires are in my future.
