Tire size - 2017 Dutch Star

We are anxiously awaiting delivery of our 2017 Dutch Star 4369. In the meantime, I am planning for that long-anticipated event. I want to order tire covers and need to know the tire diameters. It is my understanding that our new coach will have 315s on the rear and 365s on the front wheels.

Possibly someone with a 2017 Dutch Star can assist.

The Adco Tyre Gards have the following sizes based on tire diameters:

Bus 40"-42"
OS 43"-45"

I have 315/80's on the drive and 365/70's on the tag and front. You do want the OS ones! I have four of the OS and 2 of the bus and the bus ones do go on but are a tight fit. Need to go buy two more of the OS ones. Should have done that today when I had the time and there's a sale going on.

Not that I know of, it's a bag sale on the 16th and 17th. Got an email ad for it. Planned on going today but just didn't feel like it. 10% off IF you renew you membership or you're an Elite of Lifetime member. I'm a charter lifetime member.

Mr D,

Do the OS tire gard covers fit well on the 365s? The 365 tire is very wide.

The 22.5 x 365 x 70 is 14.37" wide

The 22.5 x 315 x 80 is 12.40" wide

As a followup, is anyone using the OS size tyre gard on the 365 tires?

And, will my 2017 Dutch Star 4369 have 365s on the front and the tag?

Now that we have our 2017 Dutch Star, I will pass on what I learned about tire covers. I tried to use the Adco Tyre Gard covers from my previous coach. They were BUS size and I thought they would fit the rear 315 tires on our DS. I could get the BUS size covers over the 315 tires, but about 6 inches of the tire was left exposed at the bottom.

I have found that the OS size tire covers are a better fit for both the 315 and 365 tire size.

As I posted earlier I have the OS ones for my front, drive and tag axle, they are on the tires now.
