Hello Getting ready to do some traveling this year and have thinking about replacing my front tires just for safety reason the tires on the coach are going on 6yrs not parked in sun lite inside a covered garage I have 295/80/22.5 now but have been thinking about going to 315/80/22.5 instead have any of you T/S owner made this change and what was your finding Some have said you get a better ride Thank you sirmowsalot

The 315's will be fine on the front, but the spacing required so they don't touch in the back may not be there.
You can play with air pressure to get a better ride. No reason to blow them up to the max. But you don't want them underinflated either.

Check for clearance with the leveler pads with the wheels at max turn. My right tire will contact the pad if I turn the steering wheel to the stop.

Pete,

I switched the fronts on my 06 to the 315s, and loved them. No benefit with them unless you switch to wider wheel, because they have the same weight rating as the 295s with the factory wheels and that means you run them almost at max pressure.

With the wider wheel, you can drop pressure to about 110 lbs, and the difference in ride is something to sing about!

I had no issues with their greater diameter or width, but you sure have to be certain the tires are straight ahead when you drop the airbags to level with the jacks.

Thanks for the information when you say wider rim what size are you talking about also have anyone installed the safety inter liners inside the tires I think they are called retro bands Sirmowsalot

I believe the new wheels Spartan factory used for me were 9" wide. They were using them with 315 tires for some Entegra models at the time.

Is there a sticker with recommended tire pressures in the coach anywhere?
