A problem with brands; I have Goodyears in front and Michelins and Bridgestones in back...

My rears are stock width Bridgestones, fronts are wider and Goodyears…

OK, changed criteria to reflect front and back tire mix's..Geez, I had read enough tire posts from the past to know this...of course, in editing the poll, it wiped out 3 or 4 folks that had already posted.. Can you do it again please..

Tnx, Mike W

Still doesn't let you choose different brands for front and back. Those should be check boxes or radio buttons grouped by front/back, for example:

Front:
° Michelin
° Bridgestone
...

Back:
° Michelin
° Bridgestone
...

Same goes for the other groups.

I think I have every possible option now ( famous last words..)

what is the reason for mixing brands on an axle?

thought I would bump the tire poll back to the top again as only 2 folks responded..

Merry Season,

...doesn't show summer or winter tires

I'll going to just stick with whats up as far as brand and size..

Do Barth owners actually change tires for the winter..or have studded tires or..?

I don't think anybody is swapping seasonal tires, that's just Doug showing his "Canadian," eh?

There has been some discussion over the years on tires, brands, etc but not so much lately. Like you I am not sure what people are driving. Years ago we had very few foreign brands, now lots more. Lately some of the "domestic" brands ie Michelin, Bridgestone have had issues.

Keep pinging this and we'll see if we get more info.

I run china brands. Probably put less the 40k on them before age make me change them. That's tire age!

old post but trying to keep stuff in one area..

Anyone got new tires recently..Found my coach had 2006 year tires..Time for new ones.. Am looking at FMCA's discount, for Michelin's:

comments..?

Mike thanks for consolidating
Sounds like you have a nice deal. Keep in mind as a Family RV Member, formerly Family Motor Coach Association, you can also get Michelin tires for your car(s).

Michelin tire deals makes the membership a bargain.

just got info from Coach Net Today re: their tire discount program.. info only..
CoachNet Tire Program..

found this on IRV2 forums re: substitution for 255/80R 22.5's.. (my size)
IRV2 on tire sub...

I feel a bit British to so Tyres are what I seek. I looked at the Coach Net add, Yikes even with that discount one can cut that price by at least 50% online, Discount Tire or Tire Rack.

My tyres have a lot of tread, but are bit long in the tooth! Presently I have 235/85R16 10 ply E rating.

Not wanting a rim change is there a better alternative, I did a search and a few years ago there was a bit of dispute over what to put on the P30 and my existing tyre was in the running any new thoughts???
