305/75R24.5 tires as a replacement for 11R24.5
#3

Thanks Michael. When I called Michelin North America it took awhile for him to even find what I was talking about. The product literature gives a catalog number of 30987 for a XDA 5+. He found none in inventory under that number. He did find one tire under a older series, but it would have to have been made years ago and sitting. There are 8 New old stock Goodyear 305/75R24.5 on ebay, but they are date coded from 2014. So that's useless to me and I am not sure that they are "J" rated. Plus I am not a Goodyear fan with this use. Continental may have made the tire for awhile, but no luck yet with them either. I think it's important to remember that higher speeds risk the casing and the inflation pressure is important to heat from loading. I check my tires with an infrared thermometer at every stop, it's quick as I don't have the confidence to just beat them like the truckers do. I'll keep looking this week, but I am probably going to just get the best Michelin 11R24.5 I can and I don't drive fast anyway.
