Tires

I have a 2005 Diplomat 40 PDQ with 275/70R 22.5 Goodyear tires. If I wanted to go with a little larger tire, with more weight capacity, what would fit this coach? Anyone have experience in this area?

If you are running the Goodyear G670 in load range H, you don't need a larger tire for more load capacity. There are plenty of 275/70R22.5 tires in load range J, and maybe some in L. I have 2000 miles on a set of Michelin XZA2 in load range J and no complaints.

Michelin makes a 275/70 in LR J but you have to pump it up to 130 psi to reach its max rating of 6940 pounds. If you have room in your wheel well for a 275/80 in LR H, you can get 6920 pounds at 115 psi.
