TOYO Tire Issue was explanded to Continental, Michelin and Goodyear

Yahoo Message Number: 34685
Hi Folks,

A call to Toyo and visiting their web site revealed some interesting information. Following their almost correct directions on the last page of their Tire Replacement Advisory to the NHTSA web site and a search on EA05011 reveals the following: Country Coach's lack of proper tire selection for the front tires (some 36 and 40 ft coaches, 1996-2000 - my understanding) and lack of Campaign results, caused the NHTSA office of ODI to ask for information from these manufacturers: Fleetwood American Eagle, Dream and Tradition Nemar Dutch Star and Kountry Star about their Campaigns and tires manufacturered from January 2000 to date: Continental Tire 275/70R22.5, 275/80R22.5 and 12R22.5 Michelin XRV sizes as above
Goodyear G670 sizes as above

TOYO's 275/70R22.5 M102Z has a degration issue

In Nov, Dec 2005, 10 coaches, Allures and Intrigues(1995-2000) were weighed at Palm Desert, CA Rally. Haven't interpreted the results.
The above is a brief summary, please see EA05011 Document Search for Records and read the individual documents(.pdf files).
TOYO will still sell you tires. The TOYO 2007 tire pressure chart is slightly changed from 2000.

Side issue is Reserve Capacity - Coach Owners do not weigh their coaches after loaded and inflate to the tire pressure chart or do frequent tire pressure checks. So CCI wants you to inflate to the maximum allowed. I would suspect the rest of industry is doing likewise.
