mpoore Report post Posted September 17, 2012 I have a Damon Intruder 350 on a Workhorse chassis with Michelin 235/80 R 22.5 tires. Time to make a change and I'm considering 255/70 R 22.5 of a different brand. Any feedback on potential problems with going to a wider tire?

tireman9 Report post Posted September 18, 2012 According to the Michelin Load & Infl tables your 235/80R22.5 LRG XRV®, XZE PSI 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 Maximum load & pressure on sidewall LBS Single 6940 7290 7720 7950 8280 8600 8910 9220 9350 S 4675 LBS at 110 PSI Dual 12640 13260 14100 14460 15060 15880 16220 16780 17640 D 4410 LBS at 110 PSI Note the above are axle ratings not tire ratings. Now you didn't advise your actual corner loads or the placard inflation for your Damon so it makes it difficult to provide an exact suggestion. Goodyear has a 255/70R22.5 H showing 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 S 4190 4370 4550 4675 4895 5065 5205 5400 5510(H) D 3970 4110 4275 4410 4455 4610 4675 4915 5070(H) Bridgestone has an R195F 255/70R22.5 H Firestone has a FS560 Plus and an FT455 Bother the Bridgestone & Firestone have the same Load 7 inflation ratings as the Gooyear. You do need to confirm the "dual spacing" and this is controlled by your wheels so you need to get the actual part number and confirm with the wheel manufacturer. You do not want to have less than the minimum spacing specified by the tire manufacturer. Both wheel width and offset of the wheel need to be confirmed to confirm no spacing issues.

dave111451 Report post Posted September 23, 2012 Hi, I replaced my 235 70 22.5 Michelins with 255 70 22.5 Hankooks. I am very satisfied with ride and handling. No problems with spacing between duals or width. They were about $125.00 cheaper per tire at the time. Have had them 2 1/2 years and have only added air twice then only few lbs.
