Tires

[merle&louise]

Mark,

I am a long way from being an expert on tires, but here are my thoughts.

Your bus has a front slide-out and therefore it carries an extra 1100# or more. My coach also has a front slide and Newell recommends changing the front tires every 3 years. They recommend changing rear tires every 5 years (I have a rear slide).

I follow this regiment for one simple reason: I am too young and beautiful to die!

Just kidding!

I hope that Louise was at the computer.

Loc,

Alright, so I'm not young!

It's painful Mark, but change them out as others have recommended and you'll have piece of mind. I just did mine with the Michelin Green XZA2's and they will not get any cheaper next year. You should be able to get a credit for the take off's of around 75.00 each or try to pre-sell them to a local company that can use them on their trucks.

I guess I will start getting prices. Approximately what is today's price? Does it make sense to get a price from Prevost, or are they always high on tires? I am going to be there in a couple of weeks getting some other things done under warranty.

Believe it or not, Prevost in Jacksonville was very competitive on tire pricing.

They were around $100/tire cheaper than our local truck tire dealer, and the Prevost inventory was brand-spanking-new by date code.

Unfortunately, I didn't discover that 'till AFTER I purchased my tires elsewhere....

I purchased mine from Prevost Mira Loma and they were cheeper than the dealer my boys buy all their tires from! That sure made me feel good!

Mark. we all had warnings on POG members spending OPM (other peoples money) so how did the group do ?

Will we hit the $6K bell ?

I hope you are all sitting down...Prevost TN wants......wait for it....$8159.00 plus tax for all 8 tires and mounting / balancing. I think that is way high, but have not gotten any other prices yet.

I thought they were going to be more reasonable, but Keith told me they are NOT a tire dealer and only carry tires as a customer convenience. WOW!
