Yokohama Tires

Yahoo Message Number: 99223
Does anyone have experience with Yokohama R023 ($466) or Toyo M154 ($498) tires.
I have to replace the tires on my 06 Inspire which the dealer sold me with 14ply tires. According the info plate in the coach the tires need to be inflated to 120psi which I am told requires 16ply. I welcome any feedback.
Thanks

Hi George

On my inspire we had Toyos and switched to Michelin . We also went with the H rated tires but that was for a little more capacity. As far as pressure according to the loaded weight of that coach it required 110 on the steers and 100 on the rears. I have allways went with the tire manufactures load chart in determining pressure. As far as comparing manufactures I think it has a lot to do with personal preference. I have large trucks at my business and run lots of toyos with no real problems and run yokos on the 19 inch and smaller since they come oem on a lot of imports. With the RV I am more confident in the Michelins since I get to far from home and they seem to provided a little softer ride.

George, Rod, et.al. Our local big tire guy here in Las Cruces is a Michelin dealer as well as other brands. He thinks Michelin is a very good tire but overrated and over priced. He does a lot of RVs and now recommends the Sumitomo brand at a much lower cost than Michelin. He claims lots of good reports from users on RVs. Taking his advice I put Sumitomos on the rear some time ago and on the front just recently. They hold pressure well, steer and track well and I have no complaints. I think they ride a mite harder than the Michelin XZA but not nearly as hard as the XZE. Ride is very subjective though.

George,

I had Toyo 144 295R8022.5's installed on my 2005 Inspire. They are H rated and have a higher carrying capacity than the 12R22.5' I took off. Les Schwab claimed they were a new tire from Toyo and RV was a consideration in the construction.

Toyo tires were the tires that gave us all the fits in the late 90's and early 2000's, with tires separating, blowing out, etc.  Toyo won't warrant their tires on a CC.  TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731

The reason they would not accept the warranty responsibility is due to CC  overloading the tires.

Similar to the Ford Explorer with Bridgestone issue.

January 2013 I got a new set of Michelins through the FMCA tire program 295/80R22.5 XZA2 with a max PSI of 120lbs. I had my coach weighted at the FMCA Rally in Albany, Or (4 corner wt) and I'm over wt in the rear by 1150lbs and under in the front by 730lbs. With a combined wt of 33,620lbs FR 6,405lbs-FL 6,065lbs RR 10,195lbs-LR 10,955lbs I have to run 105 PSI in the front and 100 PSI in the rear. They give you a print out of your coach wt's and the air pressure to run. This is the only way to get a true wt reading and know what PSI to run, money well spent. Must be the new steel and brass radiator to be over on the LR and not the way the wife packed the coachWhistling Floyd 2006 Inspire 51744

Suggest you only carry about 30 gallons of fresh water and move the heavy stuff to the front bay  to balance things.  You can also have your ride height valves tweaked a bit to transfer some weight, which I had to do on my 98 Allure with the front Kitchen slide only.  TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731
