SAY, I have a tire pressure question. Since you have approximately
the same front axle gross as I do,,, what air pressure do you run your tires at??? My DUNLOP SP-160's call for 120 lbs for a max load of 6610 lbs. Two on the front would be 13,220 lbs, close to my gross front axle wt. Another PT 40 bird owner told me he never runs over 105 lbs,,,,,,, What would you run ??? I have always been told to run the max cold pressure to avoid blowouts,,,, What is correct??? DAY 83 PT-40 Jax Fla,,,,,,,, [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Well, I am still investigating possible tire replacement brands. I
read many of the previous archive postings on the ongoing tire debate. Many have a strong opinion about there favorite tire manufacturer, especially the loyal Michelin followers. There were also other brands mentioned such as: Kelly, Goodyear, BF Goodrich, Toyo, a Les Schwab tire called Double Coin, Bridgestone etc. The 12R 22.5 load range H Michelin tires are about $500.00 each, installed and out the door. They carry a seven year / 700,000 mile manufacturer defect warranty. We presently are quite happy with our Firestone T575 tire. This tire is obsolete and no longer manufactured, the replacement Firestone is FS560 or Bridgestone R250 Our questions are: Does anyone have experience with the Firestone FS560?? ( In the 12R 22.5 LRH size) Why should an RV owner help subsidize a seven year / 700,000 warranty?? Which brand are you happy with ?? Maybe this should be a poll? Any inputs are appreciated, Bill 88 fc |

If you feel Michelins are unacceptable, use Toyos. I have a set of 16 ply
Kumhos on my truck and they ride and handle fine, but they might be a little harsh on a bird. I think Toyo has the closest match to Michelin as far as tread and side wall. I do mount my own tires. I wouldn't go with Kelly or BFG, didn't like the look side by side with others.

Where are you located, Bill..you didn't sign on your post.
Up here in Washington, I went to Les Schwab and bought tires named OSHEI that cost me $200 bucks each. As I own a trucking company, I went with tires that are good on trucks with a 50k mile warrenty. I put these on my bird. Load range H. Only problem is they are rated for 13,000lbs for a pair and I weigh 13,800 on my front end. Sat I will be going back to Les and see what is available for the bird's front end. Good luck on your search.

They're all round and black.
There are differences between tires, such as the 1" difference in tread width between brands of the same size & rating, ride, rolling resistance, quality control, etc. Buy what brand makes you happy, you're the one that has to pay for them and drive on them. - Jeff Miller --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "pattypape" wrote: > Well, I am still investigating possible tire replacement brands.
