    Tires

    Tires on the bus have 80,000 KLM or 50,000 miles. Chassis is 2017. Don't see any wear or cracking. They hold air without issue. Should I be concerned about replacing them. Planning a cross country trip that could add another 10-15000 klm some of it on gravel road. Should I look at replacing...

    Wide Tires on Tow Vehicle

    All, I'm curious about this, because I've seen several trucks pulling campers with wide tires on the truck. I've seen it with trucks towing TTs and Fivers. Is this inherently dangerous, or completely ok? I'm just wondering if the sidewalls are strong enough. I have NO desire to do it. I'm...

    New tires - On my Lexington

    I replaced the 6 year old tires after trying to get the old ones with 25k miles balanced - a no go by the tire shop. I went with the a higher load rating (121 vs E/115) Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 225 /75 R16 121R C8 First impression is less road noise and a softer ride vs my old Michelins...

    Uneven tire wear

    My front passenger tire on our 395MSR is wearing faster than the other five. The wear is even across the face of the tire, so it does not appear to be an alignment issue. The picture labeled Tire 1 is the one of concern, Tire 2 is typical of the other five. These are Cooper H-rated...

    Maxxis Tires

    Hello So I need new tires, 2019 Apex Nano, too many horror stories with the Castle Rocks. I'm looking at the Maxxis ST 8008 Radial., 205/75R/14. From what I read these appear to be a good tire, at a reasonable price. Does anyone have any thoughts on these tires. Thanks Harvey

    Balance new Trailer Tires?

    Anyone know if Forest River (or their suppliers) balances the tires that go on new trailers? (travel trailers specifically; I know motorized RVs would need / have them balanced). I don't recall seeing weights on the wheels, now that I think about it. And I can't look at the moment, as I...

    Leaf Springs

    I have a 2020 Reflection 150 series 260RD. On a recent trip we discovered heavy tire wear on 8 month old Goodyear tires. Prior to that, I replaced the Westlake tires that came with the 5th wheel after one failed and another blew out. When I looked under the 5th wheel to see what could be...

    Another tire question: Are more expensive tires worth the money?

    I have a wide stance twin axle TT and by 8,000 miles on the factory tires I realized the downside of wide stance. Actually, I already knew the theory and now I was just seeing the reality. So I rotated the tires, placing my two good front ones on the back and the two from the back, with...

    New Tires

    Just replaced the tires on my RV. I went from load range C to load range D tires. My question is about the cold PSI. The C rated tires were 50 PSI max. The new are 65 PSI. What should I go by? Any comments welcome.

    Need Advice on Tires.

    In November 2019 I put new Goodyear Endurance tires on my trailer. We took it on one trip in December. Then I parked the trailer in our uncovered spot and winterized it. Of course in 2020 Covid hit. The trailer has not been used since, though we are preparing to use it soon. My question: What is...

    Power King Towmax Tires - Opinions?

    Has anyone put these tires on their coach? I'm needing ST205/75 D14, and our local tire shop suggests these. This is a rural shop that serves a lot of ranchers and farmers as well as automobile applications, so I tend to think they know what they are doing. I see reviews on Amazon and a...

    Mystery symbols and numbers on my tires

    2018 Coachmen Leprechaun 311 FS. I have a mysterious symbol and numbers on my tires. I suspect it's some sort of a manufacturer's code. However, I am willing to consider the possible involvement of Rosicrucians, white magi, or alchemists. In this picture, you see on the left a symbol and...

    37RTH wheels and tires

    I ordered new tires for my Cedar Creek and have been to 5 places and no one can get the old westlakes off. The last place was a tire service for big rigs and they said it’s the way the wheels are made. I’m trying one more place Saturday before I just buy different wheels. Any suggestions before...

    Looking for help from any locals in the Phoenix area. Just arrived at Lost Dutchman SP. Just replaced a blown tire and one other is very worn down. So I need a place to buy new tires, and have them mounted of course. Is anybody open Sunday? I am guessing I'll need to wait until Monday. Any tire...

    Anyone else running Hankook Vantra tires?

    Anybody else besides me running Hankook Vantra tires,? I've only had a chance to use them once so far but I'm eased with them so far. I couldn't find Goodyear Endurance but did find these, and since the reviews were favorable to the Enduranxe tires, I went with them. I was petrified of the...

    M2 air hose for tires supplied?

    Does the Force or DX3 come new with an air hose and fitting to fill the tires? For some reason I thought I saw one early on but nowhere to be found now. Maybe I imagined it. I know where the quick disconnect port is on the coach, just don't know if I need to buy a hose, or keep looking.

    Stuff, Weight, Tires

    I was reading this morning about a Frog going on a four day trip and the list of stuff for the trip. It reminded me of when I sold my Class A how surprised I was at the amounted of unneeded stuff I was packing around. A full set of stainless cook ware, an 8 place setting of stone ware including...
