Good Drive Tire

Recommended Posts

I found a good tire that will work well for a drive tire and be smooth but have snow and Ice traction with out hurting your mileage 

Conti Hybrid HD3  other than I was told they are special order  6 to 8 weeks

Will work on getting a set and let every one know how it worked out 

If any one  knows a Continental dealer and ask about this tire  would help me get over the cost  ???

275/70r 22.5 

I like to be ready 

wet grass is a problem to some 

or a little mud 

and since most of us will age out a tire first  I thought they will be good

Ice, snow, mud, grass and sand, I leave to my toad. :)  Last time Bill saw snow & ice, was near Grand Canyon after Chandler, AZ Rally! :P  I was there also, but in the Jeep.

The snow was off the road at the Canyon but later in Amarillo I did stay parked for a couple days because of road conditions. No it isn't my coach as I didn't go out to take pictures of my coach. Keep in mind this was 30 May. :o

I had some time today so I asked the manager at the tire store about your tires. He basically said to go with the all position /steer tiers that are listed as in the program like the CONTINENTAL 275/70R22.5, HSR2 SA or the Coach HA3. As an aside he didn't think he could get the FMCA discount on the Conti Hybrid HD3.:)  So now you know what one dealer thought.

Realities of tire design

Features that deliver Smooth and quiet ride work against traction

Improved Traction will almost always hurt fuel economy

Contrary to some opinions I dug my motorhome out of the snow and installed 

Continental Hybrid HD3 with snow rating and they work great 

Will be heading to Moab in a week

As age is important
