Randy,
Others forums have commented on lact of 365s in stock. Newell factory may have some if they would sell to a non-Newell owner.
I have seen one owner put 365s on tag to have a usable steer tire on the coach. He would replace the tire put on the tag when another 365 was sourced.
Good luck getting underway soon.

I would seriously try Prevost and explain the emergency nature of the situation.
However, assuming you have 365 on the tag move one of them to the front and replace it with a 315 on the 365 wheel. For temporary use that is acceptable. That will get you going. That was the reason for 365 tires on the tag because they become your spare.

If I were in your situation I would move one of the 365’s on the tag to the steer. I would have a 315 mounted on the 365 rim and placed on the tag. You should easily find a 315. You would then be good to go. Change the 315 tire out to a 365 when you van find one.
I I would also check with marathon to see if they have any. I have two used 365’s cut they are on the opposite side of the country.
Good luck

Randy,
I don’t want to add to your situation but if you drove on that rim for a mile with no tire and I see your sitting in rocks, that rim could be trash.
Later

Another brand??
There are others with overall higher ratings than michelin………look them up.
I’ll be moving up next year……
Bridgestone?….Continental?………both highly rated for our heavier coaches.
Check with the dealer for model recommended for your steering…….
……….good luck……..Ol’Ben

Call Dennis Orner Prevost Service Rep. 717-752-9305.
I had a steer 365 blowout on the Ohio Turnpike 08/27/2015 he found me a 365 in Ohio, 1 of 2 a customer ordered but did not pick up. I was lucky up and running in about 4 hours. Possible Dennis might get one to you quicker than waiting a month

I never checked for a certain size (365?)……….hmmmmm……….I run 315s and just figured most all would have
popular sizes.
After all these years I have to start all over on my perfect ‘no mistake’ record………
I’m crushed………….til I get to Jeff’s next thursday(10/1) for some Prevost 101……..eh?
Peace y’all………..Ol’Ben

It’s not recommended, but if I were stuck, I’d put a 315 on temporarily.

No problem Ben, I was just curious if an alternative to Michelin was available and my understanding is Michelin is the only game in town. Hence the reason 365’s are in short supply, they have us all by the short hairs…
-
just a thought, But when asking one of the converter’s or the tire stores you may have been calling perhaps would have a recently take off (used tire). Them not knowing your urgency may not have thought to inform you of any take off’s. I know you want new but maybe this would work untill new comes avaliable.. Again just a thought.

I think it’s pathetic that Michelin don’t produce more 365’s… we have had to wait on them too and then drive to Tennessee to get them.
As we would say in Australia “bloody” pathetic service from Michelin !!

Love your accent Diane!
It’s hard to imagine a company like Michelin not making tires for their customers. We have 365’s on the front and tag, 315’s on the drive axle.
