[Gmcnet] 8 year old tires?

[Ray Erspamer]

I did the following after I purchased my coach in spring of 06.

1.  Replaced the steering gear box ( Ihad 6" of play in the steering wheel) and the steering shock damper.
2.  Replaced all 6 of my tires.
3.  Reset my ride height to factory spec.

My coach drives and handles like a dream.  I do most of my driving with 2 fingers on the steering wheel whether I'm traveling 25 OR 70 MPH.   Naturally the steering box was a biggee, but adjusting the ride height  made an incredible difference !!

I shopped and shopped and shopped, finally found a local dealer that made me an offer I could not refuse.  $400 tax in for 6 Dunlop Rover AT 225/75/16 E rated out the door.  I like them.

It has been my experience that the cost of round wheels and good ragwall tires will be more than paid for when you DON`T start replacing parts trying to FIX a driving and handling problem.  It took me 3 years of replacing parts to learn that.


Good Luck...
