Patrick,
Sorry Chris and I didn't get to meet you and 60472. We were looking at your coach and talking with Brandon back in July. Its a great looking coach.
CHECK AGAIN CLOSELY, YOUR COACH MAY HAVE 385 not 365's on front.
Country Coach, upon building the XLII's, was looking for ways to have a higher rated front axle. Bob Lee had the testing done and came up with the 385 tires.. At Spearfish POG, last fall, we had South Dakota DOT come in with their scales to weigh everybody. Roger and Micki Foster, with 60476, a 2 slide sister to yours, had one of the lightlest front ends, if I remember a little over 15000 lbs and change. Country Coach has done a super job keeping the front axle light regardless of placing larger tires on the coaches. The big tires on yours is some what overkill, but follow the air psi chart and you will be able to run less air psi according to your front axle weight, and have smooooth ride.
As for putting 365's on the tag, save your money. Those folks who have upgraded from 315's on the front to 365's ( Prevost quoted $8,000.00 for the upgrade for tires, bearings ( sealed greased ones) and wheels and shocks), most haven't put the larger on the tag. The only reason I can think putting the 365's on the tag is to have tires to rotate up to the front incase of an event.
Enjoy, and tell Rosey up front we said HI
