Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / August 2005Tire Question
Hi: I need 2 new tires for the camper - Coleman Rio '98. What would be recommended? I don't need anything fancy just some basic tires. Trying not to spend too much money either. Thank you.

Trying >not >to spend too much money either. Wal-Mart has some ST type tires. I understand Big O Tire Stores also has them as well. You may need to call around a bit as well. ST tires are not as available as regular tires.

Hi Bob, I would recommend going to a reputable tire shop and having them put radial trailer tires on. Just have them prove to you that the load rating is sufficient for your axle and trailer setup. My '96 Starcraft went from being a twitchy beast on down hill curves to 'Is there a trailer back there?' when in the middle of a vacation one of the bias ply tires developed a bulge and I put on a set of radials. I'll never go back to bias ply on a trailer!!! Of course your mileage may and probably will vary... Cheers, Warren K.

IMHO the best tire for your money is the best you can possibly afford. Of course, there is nothing like recaps for your mother-in-law... john Hi: Ah...humor! Short story...When in college 4 of us drove to Florida from Albany NY. You could hear pieces of the tire slowly start to peal away and tap the inside of the wheel well. Louder tapping...LOUDER TAPPING...then...a weird tumbling type noise in the wheel well...then...silence. Sounds like the beginning of a Steven King novel...went through 3 tires on the way down...37 1.2 hour drive. Can you say...Nightmare?

A couple of years ago I had a tire practically explode on me when it went over a railroad track. I may have had too much weight on it at the time? In any case, there was almost nothing left of the tire. http://capella.haela.com/BlownTire.jpg Whatever you do, make sure the tires are rated for your camper. Some campers require tires that have much stronger sidewalls than car tires. Fortunately the tire place I went to was honest enough not to sell me something that would have left me stranded on the road. take care, Rockett Crawford Ranch Country RV - Northwest Texas near Caprock Canyon http://capella.haela.com/RanchCountryRV/RanchCountryRV.htm thank you everyone...will make calls this week and buy some tires on Friday. Thanks again. Bob L. > > Hi: > > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > Ranch Country RV - Northwest Texas near Caprock Canyon > http://capella.haela.com/RanchCountryRV/RanchCountryRV.htm |
