so, this will get a variety of answers i am sure.

there is a difference on the tires that are on a 37' regular motorhome and the ones on the newells, prevos, bluebirds, foretravels etc.

the tires on the newell are HUMONGO and weigh a ton. if you rolled a 315/80r22.5 or even more so a 365/70R22.5 tire next to one of the lighter weight coaches you would be amazed on how much bigger they are. they have to be to handle the weight.

that said, most truck tire places and bus shops do not balance the tires. it is the coach guys who insist on it. the guy who does my heavy bus work runs a depot level repair center for the charter bus company he works for and they have hundreds of prevost's and they do not balance them. the truck tire place i use was surprised when i wanted them balanced.

i did have all mine balance just cause. so i have no idea if it made it better or not.

both my 90 and my current 02 drive like a cadillac. straight and true.

i do not know anyone who gets their tires rebalanced at a regular interval.

the tag is there solely to help carry weight. if you drive alot, they will wear faster becasue they kinda scoot as you turn sharply (except for the steerable tag)
