Default Re: Diesel motorhome tire advice

We primarily use Bridgestones on our fleet. The Michelin's are good, pricey. Recently Bridgestone has rebranded one of their tires into Firestone. They do this to lower the price. Very nice tire. I think Larry Hill has them on the front of his, and just this week I was looking at them on a tire rack at a Loves. If you like, let me know size etc and location and I can talk to our guy who maintains our fleet. He told me these would be ideal for motorhomes because of the limited use, and limited age of all commercial tires. If I remember correctly (and that is a challenge) you cannot recap a tire older than 3 or 4 years. He told me a commercial tire (something like a 11.00 X 22.5) is made to go 300,000 miles in 3 years and move on. That is rears, fronts less than that. Also I sell the old motor home tires to sugar cane farmers. They are so heavy and brutal during harvest, nothing like age matters.
