I am gathering estimates for replacement tires on my 2002 Winnebago Adventurer 35U. The current tires are Goodyear 245/70R19.5, Load Range G. A local tire dealer has quoted me out the door prices for 6 tires installed including tax for two brands. He is quoting for load range F 16 ply as opposed to load range G 14ply. For Toyo M143 tires the quote is $2208. For Hankook AH11S the quote is $2371. My current tires are 7 years old and have about 30,000 miles on them. I intend to keep the coach for several more years.
I have a couple of questions:
Will the load range F result in a stiffer ride with the two extra plys?
Should I ask about having the balancing beads put in the tires? (Cost ?)
I did stipulate when I requested the quote that the date code on the tires had to show an age of no older than 3 months. The estimator said that would not be a problem. Any advice you folks would care to give would be appreciated.
