I can recommend them greatly.

I put on 6 x FS561 275x70x22.5 January 2015 after 4,000 miles no issues great ride. I upsized from 255 tires and reduced psi from 115 to100 on fronts great improvement. Firestones are made by Bridgestone apparently same sidewall different tread! No regrets!

I installed six 295/75R22.5 Load range H FS591s in February and now have a little over 5K on them. When I first left the dealer I thought the coach seemed to steer a little light or something but after about 200 miles I no longer noticed that. It was either the old tires were bad enough to cause harder steering or the new ones had to seat in a little. Very happy with the Firestone tires.

Falken 109's is what's on our coach. Falken phased out the Ohtsu name a few years back. Half the price of Michelins or Goodyears and they literally look as good as the day we had them put on. Had all tires broke down and inspected a few months back . Shop manager personally oversaw the job, said he'd leave them on a few more years if it was him. I had the checkbook out ready to spring for 6 new tires so I respected his honesty and judgement.

These are 16 ply tires and ride smooth, straight and quiet. Big sellers at Les Schwab here out west.

I know a couple truck drivers and they say new steer tires will be a little squirrely for the first couple hundred miles.
