Some where around 1997 they had replaced the 24.5" tires on the steer axle to 22.5" to increase the front axle gvw as slides were starting to be added. In 2000 they changed the tag axle and went to 22.5" tires from the 24.5" tires on both the tag & drive axles to increase gvw to accommodate multiple slide coaches that were becoming the norm.
