Title: Tires
Post by: Tom Webber on February 21, 2018, 01:46:54 AM

Has anyone installed Toyo tires on their RV?  If so how many miles since they were installed and are you satisfied with them?

 I installed the Toyo M144s on my coach and they are smoother than the Goodyear G670s. They have a fairly decent ride even with higher air pressure. Only have about ~5k miles on them. Much cheaper than the Michelins.

Toyo?  Les Schwab tires - right?  I put five Toyos on 1 1/2 years ago; replaced aged Michelin tires.  So I now have one older (5 years) Michelin 295 on a tag axle, 2 Dunlop 315s on the steering axle 2 1/2 years old, and the five Toyos 295s with the five year old Michelin on the dual axle and tag axle.  The Toyos have three trips between Hermiston, OR and Yuma, AZ - about 4,000 miles - with no problems at all and no ride difference from the Michelins.

We put Toyo's on 5 years ago after purchasing a 2001 Contessa. Have had no issues at all and a good ride.

I just put two new steer tires on the front axle when I put all new brakes, calipers and rotors on.

I put 8 Toyo M144's on 2 years ago.  We have put about 12,000 miles on them.
Good tire at a reasonable price and are happy with them.

8 m144 toyos bought  3years ago when we purchased the coach . About 30000 miles no wear showing. I only had a few miles on the Michelin’s that were aged out but I didn’t notice any ride difference. Price difference however was significant.
