New Tires

Recommended Posts

I'm needing a new set of tires. I have a

1999 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom on a Freightliner Chassis with a set of Goodyear

G670 - 275/80R22.5 / load range H that are 9 years old and like new. I'm thinking of buying a set of Michelin this time.

My question is:

1: do I need 16ply.

2: do they all need to be balanced;

3: anyone ever used "Counteract beads" for balancing?

4: does anyone have a suggestion for this size

I had G670 - 275/80R22.5 / load range H on my coach. My Michelin dealer recommended that I go to load range 'J' to have stiffer side walls.

Load range J is what I got when I went from the Goodyear H to Michelin. Size on both is 275/70R22.5. I guess Michelin knew what they are doing with that size tire.

Can't answer the size / Load Range question without knowing the actual loads on the tires. While actual corner loading is best we at least need individual axle loads and can apply a 47/53% side to side unbalance estimate.
