Prevost Updated Tire Program
Updated tire program from Prevost, prices close to Advantage. Looks like you have to buy 8 and the unknown will be the labor.

Is there any pricing on 12R 22.5’s?
-
The Prevost pricing is better than the advantage program, but the labor is charged at 1.75 hours per tire to mount and balance. So $233 to mount and balance one tire is unbelievable. At first i thought it was 1.75 hours for all 8. Which I thought was incredible, but was soon informed of the each tire. Then I asked if that also included a brake check and was informed it did not…
So do you do diligence and total the whole cost of tires and mounting.
I think the advantage price was $6 or $8 more than Prevost, but 1 shop I called was $50 per tire to mount and balance.

Hello,
This year I replaced all my tires with Tire Concierge… X Line Energy 315s. $635.25each FET $52.83. Labor $300 per tire. So wayyy cheaper then Prevost at 1.75 hours labor per tire.

I was just at Prevost Winter Garden for 3 days. I talked to them about Michelins. Tire price is good but there is no warranty other than what Michelin provides.
I also talked to Dave at NTCS who pointed out with their program:
- INCLUDES 3 Year RV Wheel & Tire Coverage—after 3 years you will only pay $200 for each new tire you purchase and again it will be covered for 3 years
- Coverage includes any Road Hazard occurrence ie. Nail blowouts, cut sidewall, as long as there is 4/32 of tread left on tire.
See you soon ETLC for my new tires.
Oh, and remember Michelin’s price goes up April 1.

NTCS had a great program. But now their prices are the same as the Michelin Advantage. I understand that Michelin prevented them from selling at lower prices.
-
I have the same question with regard to 12R22.5. Last pricing I saw from the NSC for BF Goodrich was in the $560/tire range.

It appears that us “odlies” that need 12R 22.5 are akin to the Lepers of years past!

You are correct the 12R22.5 is fading at OEMs. If you want to consider a different size on a 8.25″ wheel, then you could look at the 295/80R22.5. For Michelin, it is available in a standard load and a heavy load option.
1. The 12 R22.5 general specifications:
Max load, single: 7390
Overall Diameter: 42.6″
SLR: 19.8 in
RPMS: 486
Dual Spacing: 13.2″
2. 295/80R22.5, 8.25″ wheel, XZA2 Energy and X Multiway 3D XZE (Note, this is a directional tread):
Max load, single: 7830 lbs
Overall Diameter: 41.3″
SLR: 19.1 in
RPMS: 503
Dual Spacing: 13.2″
3. 295/80R22.5 HL, 8.25″ wheel, X Coach, HLZ
Max load, single: 8270 lbs
Overall Diameter: 41.5″
SLR: 19.3 in
RPMS: 499

Jon, what say you a going to a 295/80R22.5?
My preference is to go to a 315/80R22.5.
-
Ron,
Your coach likely is in the 40,000# range and a steer axle weight around 14,000#.
The 295 tire is cheaper, more than adequate for the application, more readily available so if it were my coach I would not be using 315.
-
I have not had any problem finding 12R 22.5, just not Michelin! Thanks for the info. I might just go with the 295 metric option and see how much it affects my speedometer.
-
Your speed will be slower than what the speedometer shows.
You can calculate the percentage of loss from the information Pat provided above.
-
Thanks, Jon. Through NTCS I can get Michelin and BF Goodrich 12r22.5’s. Dave and Wendy provided updated list.
My coach is 47,000 lbs with right at 14K on the steer.

I am shocked about your coach weight. I have never heard of a 40 footer with an 8V92 weighing more than 42,000 and until 45 foot coaches came out most were closer to 40,000.

I will give it another weigh.
