My coach has P.O. installed Kuhmo 225/75R16 tires on steel, hub centered Chevy/GMC 1-ton truck wheels. The would not have been my choice, but they run nice and smooth and quiet, and I have had no problems with them. At some point in the future, I plan to switch to Eagles and BFGs. I had the coach weighed at the Pueblo Rally and all six wheels weighed within 150 lbs of each other. I run all six at about 65 psi and the coach handles and rides very nicely.

I run BFG Commercial TAs on my company pick-up trucks and have had good luck with them. The tires on my V-10 1-ton dually, utility bed work truck have only lasted an average of 20,000 miles before the tread is worn out. Not sure why.
