Question 75
Posted by Tom on May 12, 2005
My RV came with G159 tires in size 245/70R 19.5 These tires have a pretty harsh ride, even when I let the air pressure down to 75lbs in front wheels only(which I don’t like doing).
Will the G670RV have a better ride?
Where the cheapest place I buy them nearby? 92887 is my zip
please log onto www.goodyear.com/truck. You will find a dealer locator.
The G670RV was designed specifically for RV applications.
Question 74
Posted by Chris on May 12, 2005
What can you tell us about “super singles” as they relate to improved fuel economy? - Thank you.
Fuel economy of the new 445/50R22.5 is better because of the fact that there is only 1 tire and 1 wheel. Weight savings is about 800 lbs per truck. Fuel Economy depends on many factors, including driver, route, and load. Directionally, there is a slight fuel economy advantage.
Question 73
Posted by Bob on May 12, 2005
We are about to accept delivery of a new fire truck with a 30,000 lbs rear axle. The tires now on the truck are Goodyear 315/80R22.5 G286A 488 rev/mile, load range L, 20 ply. We are concerned for off-road and/or snow traction. Is there a tread patern available in this size and load range with a better tread patern for our application? Any brand may be considered. Perhaps the tread patern is as good as it gets in this tire size and load range.
Thanks for your help.

Bob...the G286A is a very popular tire on fire trucks in both the US and Canada. I have not heard of any traction issues.
