Chester,
The money grubbing penny pinching MBAs that purchased Country Coach specified Toyo tires that would carry the front axle only at MAX pressure and then with NO safety factor. So any stress put the tire in trouble from the get go.
The experience with Country Coach caused Toyo to abandon its RV program, no longer having a RV rep with 800 number, no longer attending large rallies and no RV oriented advertising.
I have seen at least 4 Michelin front tire blow outs in for many thousands of dollars of repair in Nacogdoches at the Foretravel repair facilities there. Michelin's position is usually the tire was run overloaded or under pressure. I have also noticed that Newell has stepped up the load carrying capacity of it front tires more than any production manufacturer.
My two sets of Toyo's performed fine for me but then I have plenty of extra carry capacity at the pressures I run.
I really like the Hankooks I have on my coach now. But like one of my RV friends says, buy what makes your heart smile.
