What are the best Tires?
Steve Huber:
Gary,
A CAT scale should give you both steer and drive axle weights separately. I weighed mine at a Petro in Eloy AZ. Cost $20; 2 weighs, 1 on driver and 1 on passenger side at $10 each.

Jay and Raylene Todd:
I can't speak to other states but in both Washington and Oregon when a state operated weigh station is closed, the scale is still operating. You can pull in and weigh individual axles as well as offsetting the coach to one side or the other and weigh individual wheel positions ie; left steer, left drive (duals) left tag. No fee, no waiting.
Stan Simpson:
Once I called the local police to ask when and where they were going to put down the portable scales next. They were nice to weight each corner for me.

Gary Winzenburger:
Thanks for everyone's input! I re-inflated all tires and will weigh it soon, but still haven't found anyplace to get the corners seperately. I will take it to the local Cat scales and have the axles weighed.
Thanks,
Gary

I would like to report to the forum that I just put new tires on my rig last week using the FMCA Michelin Advantage program. I have a 2003 Monterey so my tires are a little smaller than the newer rigs. I installed six Michelin XZA2 Energy 275/70R22.5 tires since I have no tag axles. The FMCA price was $495.89 plus $32.51 FET each and no sales tax since I had them installed at Bob Dickman's Tires (a Les Schwab dealer) in Junction City, Oregon. The dealer charged me $80 per tire to mount, balance and dispose of the old tires. I just got the invoice from FMCA for a total of $3170.40 (tires only) which they charged to my pre-approved credit card.
The process could not have been easier.
