365 Tire Availability
-
Might be worth thinking abut the Bridgestone 385…. Very little size difference.
Anybody though about this possibility?
-
You would have to be careful of wheel well clearance, 365’s are close.
-
There were some Country Coach conversions that used 385 tires and I think they had some modifications to make them work. If I am not mistaken they did not use the standrard air bags but I do not know if that was an axle weight or clearance issue.
-
Just sitting here reading this, and how does the 12R 22.5 Bridestone tires i put on mine a few years back relate to the metric sizes.
-
365 millimeter = about 14.5 inches
385 = about 15.5 inches
Does 12R = 12 inches?
315 = about 12.5 inches
-
The 12R are close to the 315 tires and were replaced by the 315 which work on 8.25 and 90 wheels.

Just thought I’d mention that our friend just bought two 365s in Fort Worth. They were date coded 2217 and 2317.

I am getting all 4 of my 365s replaced prior to my fall and winter trips. I have a local dealer that has found 4 tires in three places that he said were all 2017. He s going to confirm and get them sent to the shop I use. But he did confirm if he were to order them they are still on back order…

Based on the last information we got from Michelin, because they have a national contract with a charter bus company they have to insure 365 availability so there should be no issues.
The 1-800-TIRE911 program is now set up so if anyone has an issue while on the road, if the need is a 365 tire the Michelin system is set up to sort through dealers to insure the response is from a dealer with 365 tires in stock.
What is unresolved is the tearing of the decoupling groove although we understand Michelin is working on that.

Hi,
We just signed up with the tire program today and we’re told that the 365 that we have is no longer made – and there is a replacement. The one we have now is about 2 years old. (We are replacing because there is a big piece missing and wife is nervous)
Is this correct?
This is what we have now…
-
Can you compare the new tire versus the old with respect to area of the decoupling groove. Maybe the tearing issue is fixed.
BTW, damage in that area is not deemed a warranty issue because it (according to Michelin) has never resulted in a tire failure. It is very unsettling however because it looks like the tires are coming apart.
-
We don’t have the new tire yet… we are in Austin TX and the tire had to be ordered. Tire is in Ft. Worth… it’s really gonna depend on “where” you have a flat as to how long it will take to get a 365.
The piece of tire missing IS on the outside on that piece of “rim” that looks scary – and it’s why we’re getting a new tire… wife is scared!
I to take a look when it’s changed and see if it looks any different.
I spoke to Dave and Wendy (seem like very good people BTW) and it is the 315 that has a new model… the 365 is still the same. Was a mixup on our part.

Michelin part number 52215 and that should be warranty with it having to be inspected and then they measure tread and look at age…
