Mich is out due to price.
I have Hankooks on my DP, date code 2013, so time to go.
They have been fine. Ride a bit rough, but it could just be Illinois roads frankly. Load range H.

Same price for Firestone 561's, load range J. Not a particular heavy motorhome, and I doubt the J's will make it ride nicer. But I am wrong sometimes.

Any experience with the Firestones? Any preference between the two tires.
Both are in the $420 range each mounted.

2 ply jump. What are they LP22.5. I believe the SR on the J is 62 Mph. I could be wrong. About how much are you under with the gross loaded with the
H's?. Most of the ones i sold were Yokes or Toyo whether it is a RV or a class 8. Have the kooks served you well aside from age?. That 420, is that mounted and balanced? If balanced, Balance compound or lead weights? just curious..

I need to find my weights written down, but I'm under by a good amount. (how about that for specific?)
Mounted and balanced. 12$ or so for each pack of equal. Planning on balancing the fronts only.
Probably do the Kooks again. Just making sure I'm not missing the boat on the Firestones.

Go TOYO’S...

Tell me more. Have you compared to Hankooks?

I put FS561 on the front of my 36' Beaver and they rode better than the toyos I took off. I put rice tires in the back (Road-Lux looked just like the 561s) with no issues. I figure I can throw them away sooner and not feel the pain. I would never put them on the front! We have some resident experts that will chime in. I cannot attest to the mileage of the tire just the ride was great on air ride magnum chassis.

All I can tell you is I run Michelin’s TOYO’S would be by second choice based on all the reviews an people I’ve talked to about them...

But just like bry war your gone get different opinions my Michelin’s ride great...but they high as Giraffe p u s s y

Toyo's on my Journey for two years. Nice ride.

Mine's a Magnum too. Mileage not really an issue for me. They age out on me. The Firestones are about the same price as the Kooks.

Thanks for the visual! LOL.

Trying to find where that Firestone tire is made

Looks like a better chance of being American made.

I took my 6 year old Michelins off this year and put Toyo's on and could not be happier. This is on a 40' Revolution with 24.5 tires...

Toyos for the W - I've been running them since 1990. Dually, Trailers, MH's. The ones on my MH have beads to balance.

SL...

40 Discovery here went with the Toyo's and been very happy with them.

Local guys aren't offering Toyo. Couple different shops. Want to get locally.

what is the price range on the toyo if you don't mind me asking. I am running Michelin now and they are aging out.

Different supplier is $387 mounted for the Hankook.

Most anything RV I go here, tires included:
