Time for new tires

I couldn't resist. Zoom in on this.

All you got to do is curb them 315 80s once or twice and they separate enough, any truck tire for that matter. You combine that with these buses with 16 and 17000 pound front axles, 90° Plus outside, 70 mile an hour and that's how a 315 80 with a recent date code goes boom. Any pair of these variables will do it, that's what I think. Stay away from the curbs, very important.

Joe, that looks like a tire that's been sitting in a junkyard for decades!

That's because that particular LP Generac usually won't run long enough to get to 50hrs..lol

My gosh, that poor prevost!!! I’d be so sick!!! Just my .02 I budget for every 5 years, and swap all out regardless of condition. With that being said I have a guy that buys my 5 yr old tires every time, so I get a bit of a discount on my new ones. (he uses my old ones on his farm trucks)

Since we're on the subject of blow-outs, does anyone have a POV on Rettroband? I've seen some long threads on other RV forums, but searching on POG yields nothing. Just wondering if it's been discussed and if folks have experience or opinions?

Here's a link

I bet they r doing very good with that product. Is this the same product Donny Myer was referring to in past posts?Never seen it.

Should be standard equipment. Why not??

Not sure what to think. But, the coach is pulling into the bay right now. Five year old 315’s with pressure checked religiously. This looks like fun!

Looks like after it blew it scraped itself down a guardrail or something eh?

Hey Donnie have you ever seen that product similar to Tryon that Marks71 posted in #16, this thread? How about an opinion?

The Australians haul the heaviest loads in the world on their roads. They have massive truck trains and they know and have a lot of experience with very very heavy front ends. Not only will this keep the tire on the rim but it'll keep the rim off the pavement. The only downside is it probably takes a little fuss when you need to change tires or fix a flat might take a minute or two longer.

I don't need them for weight concerns but they might be a good choice for me seeing im going to a 3.08 rear end gear. I'm thinking about trying them.
