wildebill308 Report post Posted January 27, 2020 Did you read my post about Continental? I still recommend them. They do have 275/80R 22.5 18 minutes ago, BandM said: NOT all 275/80 R22.5 match the same spec as the Michelin for the above. What specks are you talking about?

I, would suspect the load range could possibly be the main and quite possibly the only difference in the specs that might differ, and of whether steer/drive tire could differ, and as Brett pointed out what rim width are they recommended for. These items are well worth comparing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandm Report post Posted January 28, 2020 Between manufacturers on the same size there are slight differences between the load lb, OD and width Hankook and Continental are the closest one to Mchelin. Both are mentioned in this topic. So I need to chase the price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tireman9 Report post Posted January 28, 2020 I think if you look at the same size and Load Range you will find the load capacity for a given inflation to be the same for all tires and all brands EXCEPT for a few Michelin items. By "all" I mean 99.9+% so if you find an exception let me know as I don't recall ever seeing one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted January 28, 2020 BandM. Have you looked at Kelly truck tires, I ran them for years, before the Michelin craze came along! Kelly should have been on Richards list, also Toyo. IMHO 90% of the tires we run are not American! But, they all have to meet the same Standards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted January 28, 2020 True they all must meet standards. However all standards have parameters. Some manufacturers will meet the highest standards while some will just barely meet the lowest. Everyone of us need to pick what meets their own needs. Toyo meets my needs in both quality and price. I have 8 on our coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted January 28, 2020 That's why I run Off Road NITTO tires on my Jeep...made by TOYO. Unmatched durability! Price is the same as a coach tire!😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember, the manufacturer has to self certify compliance with the standards. They don't submit every tire model for testing, and it's not till problems arise that anyone would know how much they actually meet the standards. The certification is only as good as the person doing it. My understanding is that the better companies pay third-party companies to test their products and confirm compliance.
