Spokane area advice for buying 295/75R-22.5 and have Safe-T-Plus installed

Does anybody know a shop in the Spokane / CDA , WA area that sells Toyo 16M-154 or Continental 16HS3 Eco Plus and can install a Safe-T-Pin Cylinder at the same time?

Regards

But is the Toyo have enough capacity for your steer tire requirements at 6610 lbs single load rating?

I screwed up, we foreigners do not speak English that well. Mea culpa.

I meant to say Safe-T-Plus,  the hydraulic steering dampener.

PS.

Can the moderator change the topic title to Safe-T-Plus?

Les Schwab in your area carries TOYO.  In Oregon I recommend  Hendersons in Grants Pass for the Safe-T-Plus.

I'd second Jack Lewis' suggestion for Henderson's Line Up for the safe t plus.  I don't know if they are still doing it, but they used to offer an air operated mechanism that allowed you to adjust the bias of the safe t plus for side winds etc. as an add on the safe t plus.  I have heard they are pretty on top of the game for coach steering adjustments, repairs and mods in general.  No personal experience, but lots of positive comments from others.

I am absolutely convinced and will order Safe-T-Plus. Thank you all for the input.

Was just looking for a shop that could do it and replace tires at the same time.

Ross Point Truck and RV, Post Falls, ID would likely be able to do both. I bought my TOYOs at Les Schwab, on E Sprague in Spokane Valley.

I'm running those exact tires on my coach.  120psi in the fronts.  Ride's fine but I have nothing to compare.

They do smell funky though...even 2 years on.

Is 120 PSI based on your actual front axle weight or ??

Agree-- with nothing to compare it with, you don't know if there may be a vast improvement in the wind or this is what it should be

But, I DO have an educated guess!

I don't often have my nose stuck to my Toyo tire. Well, Unless I pass out and land on it. You could just douse it in 303. That might help.

If that is a H rated Toyo, it's probably at it's max capacity at 125 psi so unless the ride is harsh, there is no reason not to run it at 120 psi. A tire won't blow up until well over 300 psi. Ours are G rated so I run them at 110 psi. The ride at that pressure is fine.

I've weighed my coach 3 times.  Each time the front axle is 12,900 to 13,800 pounds...just 80 pounds shy of the max gross for front axle on this coach.  According to attached Toyo tables, that puts me right at 120psi for the fronts for the 6,900 mean....haven't had individual sides weighed yet.  They are H rated.  Woody.

This is what disqualified the M154 for me.

Yup.. I made the mistake of putting 154's on. run 110 lbs on steers, otherwise gets squirrely  with ruts and groves in the pavement.
on. the next go around will get the 149's
