In your letter to Michelin did you specify that the ST tire was radial or bias or did you just say "ST"? I think it would make a difference in how the question is answered, considering the bias and...

They may do it but it is definitely not legal. State troopers here seem to ignore RV's for the most part but that could change at any moment. Right now the tourism dollars trump the regs.

The bottom of pg 18 is double speak and CYA.

The answer is as long as the tires maintain proper clearance and have a LR in excess of GAWR you will be fine. Use common sense, don't get a tire that...

Decided to put new tires on my TV last week. My 5er brings me right at GVWR so I was looking for a little more "reserve" in my tires. I had contemplated going 19.5" but I was not impressed with the...

I think if it geared right 550 will be more than enough.

The 5.9 was rated lower than this new engine right? I thought the 12v was in the low 400's and the 24v in the mid 400's to low 500's?
