365 Tires

[BenC]

According to Prevost National Service Representative and Jacksonville Tech support, there is not enough clearance in the wheel well area on an XL chassis to allow the 365 tire upgrade that is offered for XL2 and H3-45 VIP models. On the H3 VIP, shims have to be added to the steering stops, whereas the XL2 requires scraping foam out of the wheelwell but don't require steering stop adjustment. Hub stubs, lug nuts, and of course the wheels also need to be changed, as well as the consideration of hub caps and how they are mounted on the wheel, since some of the 315's were stub-piloted and some are hub-piloted. The upgraded 365's are all hub piloted.

Hope this sheds some light. We have done this procedure on one XL2 to date.
