Title: Sumitomo tires
Post by: Don and Donna on September 03, 2017, 06:18:08 pm
Would Sumitomo tires be a suitable quality tire for a U320?  Thanks for your help Don.

Do they make a LRH 275/80R22.5 tire?

Thats more of a Michelin size. A lot of people use the 295/75R22.5. Same diameter, just lower profile. See it at: 6.04 - Sumitomo ST709 - tires | Buy Sumitomo ST709 tires at SimpleTire (https://simpletire.com/sumitomo-295-75r22.5-5532275-tires) Sumitomo tires are considered excellent.

I have 13 year old Sumitomo tires. The side walls look new. I couldn't believe the date code when I saw it.

Still... they are on the list.

Yup that is what I have (295/75R22.5) in a Toyo 154... next time will go with a 144 (higher load capacity)
