    Sounds like you have some tire shopping to do VERY soon. 

    Let us know what you decide on and how it all works out.

    J-- yes, I have some work to do on the MH before getting out on the road.

    Another item on matching Duals. The pair should always be same size, Load Range, Brand and design.  Minimum Dual spacing is published in the tire company data sheets to help you compare.

     

    You can read-up on Duals and their special needs on my RV Tire blog

    I've looked at your blog many times prior to my current need to purchase new tires. May I just say, "WOW", you know your stuff!! Thank you for offering your expertise to us--especially as a newbie to the MH world. I'm still in research mode but will be purchasing soon. Discovering that I'm a little limited in dealers that work with MH's and 22.5" in my area. Just a couple do FMCA tire program, so guess I will go talk to them about their recommendations to my specs. I have a couple other places to ask also.

    First thing I noticed is the tires that are on there are the wrong load range. You say they are G rated and the sticker calls out for LRH or load range H. 

    I wish I could see the bottom of the tag/ the part cut off. Do you have a tag? What I see Interpret as the front steer 275/80R22.5 and the duels are 275/70R22.5

    I think the bottom part is for coaches with a tag as the weight is blank.

    Bill

    I have duels. That last section on the cert. tag  is blank. When talking to Am. Coach tech yesterday, he confirmed that I need two different sized tires for my motorhome. And good eye on the load range. I never noticed that.  And interesting(scary) that the current tires from previous owner are not that.

    Put the numbers from different size tires in the appropriate block and this chart will show the difference....MPH, RPM, etc...

    If value and cost are important, check out Sailun truck tires. I had 6 275R70/22.5, LR H, put on our MH, final price I paid was $1,280. IMO they ride every bit as good and the Goodyear' that they replaced, and are all steel ply construction They were 4 months old when purchased, my tire shop followed my request. Sailun truck tires are made in Vietnam since 2017(purchase date was July 2018).

    P.S. I noticed Sailun truck tire prices have risen a bit since I bought.

    Thanks! I will look at them and then ask the tire place when I talk to them.

    I just talked to Spartan and Am Coach. Spartan said the MH left them with 275/70/R22.5.  As bad tires and weight of coaches  situations arose, recommendations changed, thus the new sticker with two sizes. American Coach (Fleetwood)tech looked it all up, and I do, indeed, need two different size tires that are listed on the Federal Certification Tag in my motorhome.

    So, I can't ask the previous owner why his chose the one larger tire all around as he's deceased.  

    I go with the company's word. Now the search is on for those sizes in a safe tire that won't completely break the bank. Merry Christmas to us!

    I have been reading the threads here, and it just seems to vary as to tire preferences.  If anyone esp. driving similar MH wants to chime in, I'm listening and note taking. Thanks!!

    Brett, thanks.  I have started getting FMCA pricing and I will compare to other brands, etc. Just want to make sure I'm getting the correct size: too much money to be wrong.
    So, the two tire sizes listed on the RV plate, do I need  different sizes for the "front" vs. the"intermediate" as that picture showed. Confused as to why we're rolling on one size all around when it states two.

    Good afternoon!  It's time for us to buy tires for the motorhome before venturing out on our first real trip. Current tires from previous owner are Yokohama  Super Steel, RYO 83A, size 295/75/R22.5,   G rated.  These are on the 2 front and outside rear dual tires, with the inside duals having some kind of Firestone.(in storage so I can't confirm which)
    My questions: 1.) Are these outdated tires the correct choice for size, as the ID tag inside the MH (see picture) seems to be giving other sizes?
    2) does my MH need two different sizes, as indicated by the ID tag or am I reading it wrong? 🤷‍♀️
