tires

[pattypape]

Rob, Thanks for the input,

Our Bird came with 12R22.5 Firestone T575 loadrange H tires.
The fronts are almost six years old and the rears are four years old.
The T575 is no longer available, Firestone recommends FS560.
The tread design is four rib vs the five rib design on our present
tire.
The present tires show no signs of wear or cracks, Our Bird was
always stored indoors when not in use. I have been satisfied with
the Firestones, But I only have 7,000 miles and one year experience.
We will replace the steer tires later this summer.
This Firestone tire seems to cost about 25% less than the Michilens.

The tire debate continues.

Bill 88 FC Michigan Still trying to decide??
