Old New Tires
#1

I've had Travel-Net searching for 4 new drive tires for me. They have discounts with GoodYear and Michelin. I would like to find some manufactured in 2020. So far the only set of 4 they found were 3.5 years old.

Anyone else in the market for tires having this problem? I know there are a couple of other brands, and my coach has Goodrich now... but coach-net only deals with two brands.  Any ideas?  I'm in Dallas.

Thanks,
Alan

Alan, Call Dave Ward of National Tire Concerige Service. He sells Michelin and B F Goodrich for even less than FMCA as in $135 per 315 tire less than FMCA.

I purchased tires from him in March, all were 2020 tires.

Several months ago on a Sunday, a Newell owner called me to share he had called all day Friday and Saturday looking for a 365 to replace his damaged steer tire. He was in Buckhorn in Kerrville. All calls said no tire and not going to get one.

Told him we will call Dave on Monday. Thirty minutes after I called Dave, he called me to share he would have a tire at Buckhorn and folks to install either Tuesday or Wednesday at the NtCS price way less than retail and less than FMCA. A three year wheel and tire road hazard warranty come with each new tire too.

Dave and Wendy are awsome.

I have Firestone FS560 plus 11R-24.5 load range H on mine.

I got 6 this summer for $400 each ( 3 months old). I mounted them myself (not as bad as it sounds and no stripped or over torqued lug nuts), and used Equal balance beads and inflated to 105 psi.
The ride is so smooth, much, much better than the Michelins that I had on the front.

I will use the same Firestones next time tires are required.

Dave Ward is the way to go on Michelin. Running 50,000 lbs down the road, I want the best money can buy.
