RE: Possible tire for 450 LXi
hi, i know things are different, but i upgraded my 02 newell front tires and wheels to the 365/70r 22.5 with the new alcoa 10.5 inch wheels. it give a lot more weight capacity and allows you to have lower tire pressures. the newells with slides in the late 90s and early 2000's were right on the edge for front weight on the tires/wheels.

on the newells some would take them and some required modifications. fortunately, mine did not require any modifications at all. the michelin advantage price on the beefier 365's was lower than than the 315's i put on the rest of the coach. those wheels are pricey though....about 1100 bucks for the pair and hard to find. i was able to sell my old wheels which made it a little more affordable. the other thing is that newell then says that you can up the life of the front tires from 3 years to 5 years with them.

they are humongo tires i gotta say
