I know people are high on the Toyo’s and Michelin for good reason but I went with the Continentals thru FMCA. Purchased thru Conti dealer - Southern Tire Mart in Deer Park. They went out of their way to find six new 10R22.5 from different stores. Paid $50 per tire for M&B. NO SHIPPING CHARGE. I’ve had Conti’s on a Cycle, Car & SUV and felt they were just as good as my Michelins or Bridgestones. My MH’s tires were over 12 yrs old and I couldn’t go over 65. Now it’s smooth and confidant at 75. I had a couple of different reasons for choosing them:
> Continental’s are made right here in USA in a 2yr old manufacturing facility. Toyo’s are made in Japan, Michelins mainly Brazil.
> Application specific – The HSR2’s are made for All Position, Regional, On/Off road hauling, People and Goods service. Not a trucking tire.
> SR2 compete with Michelin XZE2, Goodyears-G661HSA and Bridgestone-R250F. Actually wanted the Coach HA3 which is the same as Mich XRV or G670 RV, but not in my size.
> More line up to choose from specific to your needs. Being 3 times the size of Toyo and slightly behind Goodyear, as German based I believe Conti’s designs are better in line with commercial usage since they can spend more money for research for demanding and extensive European standards.
> Europe requires that all tires are tested for Fuel economy, Road handling & weather, and lastly noise reading. I attached the HSR2’s.
> Smartway Certified for Steer and Drive as Fuel Saving.
> Lastly, better price. HSR2 list $536, paid $355. Toyo M170 $360+37ship. I paid $2550 total.
I have no investment in Conti. Spent over a month evaluating choices and based decision on my research and experience. I attached their line-up comparison and people mover charts.
