kwl0525 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 My motorhome is in need of new shoes. The current tires are 10 years old (not good, but it's been stationary for the past few years). Anyway, my local tire dealer (and the place my RV dealer uses) quoted me prices for the following brands (my unite needs 255/70R22.5): Firestone FS560 Bridgestone 250ED Anyone have any experience using these tires?

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 What were the prices he quoted, out the door? Have you checked the FMCA tire prices? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwl0525 Report post Posted March 13, 2019 Pricing for the Firestone FS560 (295/tire) was lower than any FMCA discounted pricing on the tires available from Michelin, Hankook or Continental. Pricing for the Bridgestone 250ED (463/tire) was higher than the FMCA discounted prices for most of the options presented, except for the Michelins. Michelins are by far the most expensive, even with the FMCA discount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted March 13, 2019 Michelin's...agree! To me, 56,000 pound coach, it brings peace of mind, for an extra $1,800 bucks every 6-7 years! I got my 8 thru FMCA Fleet in Oregon, 8/2014 & no sales tax! I have never had Bridgestone or Firestone on any of my coaches over the past 51 years, gas & diesel.

rayin Report post Posted March 14, 2019 Last year when I was tire shopping I was quoted the same price, $203 ea. for Firestone FS560 LR L, and Sailun truck tires LR H. Further discussion with the shop revealed the Firestone FS560, or FS561-can't remember which, was replaced by the other; thus the great pricing on those Firestone LR L tires. I bought Sailun because I assumed the LR L would make a harsh riding tire on a MH that came with LR G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tireman9 Report post Posted March 19, 2019 Firestone F560 info HERE Last I heard was the 561 may be replacing the 560 in some sizes. Firestone and Bridgestone truck tires were being made at the same plant in TN but if this is important the DOT plant serial can confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
