bulldogger - 2010-01-13 11:54 AM Any suggestions on replacing the factory Michelins XRV 255 80R 22.5's? Wow them babies are HIGH!!!
That's an RV tire. You might price out Mich. XZE 2 or XZA. Those are all position truck tires. I don't know if they would be less than the XRV or not. I'd probably also price Yokohama tires, Goodyears, and maybe BF Goodrich. If you run the miles to actually wear the tires out rather than tear them up or have them dryrot, the Mich tire is an awfully good tire. Otherwise, I'd look for a good quality(rather than premium) tire.

I went with Hankooks on my wrecker, just because I do not put many miles on it and they dry rot before I wear them out and the Hankooks are 1/2 price, but still a good tire.
I also use the Hankooks on my single axle dump truck for the same reason, but I gross 33-k lbs on it and the tires stand up good. And this is 33-k on a single axle truck, no trailer involed.
