Toyo M154 295/75R22.5 H rated Product #548230 $332.  I think that tire will do the job well.  We gotta replace them 7 years regardless of the wear.  I probably will drive about 3,000 to 5,000 miles a year so by 7 years it would be about total of 35,000 miles so that should be enough.

This discussion is very useful for me. We will be due for new tires at some point about mid-2017 and so I really hope the discussion continues. I really look forward to many more actual-experience reports. Once again: Foreforums is an incredible resource!

i will be putting on new tires this summer. i am a tire dealer but almost exclusively car and light truck. i have done my research and consulted my wholesale salesmen (who are bona fide experts) and will be going with 295/75/22.5. H they are 1/10 of an inch wider and 1/10 of an inch larger in diameter then 275/80/22.5. this is so close that it is acceptable to run them mixed on the same side duals. they are many more brands in that size and they are significantly less expensive. i will probably use toyos, IMO if your but is so sensitive that the very slightly harsher ride of the H rated tires bother you, then you are too delicate a flower to be outdoors.LOL

This is from the open road forum in 2012 and matches my Rv management experience long ago.

" replaced the 11 year old Michelin tires on my 2000 Holiday Rambler last year with the Toyo 154s and noticed a change in my handling and tracking. Thinking it was new tires vs old tires, I took it to a shop and they pronounced the suspension as ok and suggested toeing in the tires 1/16" and that helped but the darting and jumping still made driving testy. After reading about a number of others who experienced the same problem with the Toyos, I took them back and put on new Michelins. Problem solved. The tire shop said they had replaced 2 other sets of Toyos on motorhomes because of handling issues. The Toyo has a stiffer side wall, because it is a truck tire, than the Michelin and thus handles differently. I am a fan of Toyos as I have them on 2 of my cars but this is not a tire made for motorhomes. I am sure the handling may not be noticeable on some MHs but on mine it was. Yes, there is a big difference is price that has to be considered. If you are a member of FMCA, you can purchase the Michelins through a program they offer. I saved $600 off the best price I could get without it which made the price difference from the Toyos much more competitive."

Farmerstu, I agree on the 295/75/22.5 H tires and I also like the Toyo tires but have seen different models in that size. Which model Toyo are you considering?

I put Toyos on a Sprinter Class B I had, handling & ride deterioration made me change pretty quick back to Michelins. Your luck may differ.
