RV Tires 1
Posted by Gerald from Largo, FL, US on November 17, 2009
I recently had a blow out and had to have a tire replaced on the road. I was told at that time that the tires are 7 years old. I am looking for 7 tires mounted and balanced. Is there someone Goodyear tire shop that can mount these larg truck tires within 50 to 75 mile. My zip is 33773. Tire size is 295 80 22.5 670RV LRH.
You can find a Goodyear commercial dealer by visiting our website www.goodyear.com/truck and simply entering your ZIP code into the dealer locator. Dealers that are specialize in handling motorhomes are listed. The nearest one to you is:

Distance from Zip code 33773: 3.7 Miles
Chunking on outside tread of tire
Posted by Preston from Fulton, NJ, US on November 12, 2009
We are having a problem with G124 10R 22.5 and G164 11R 22.5 tread chunking off. It seems to be limited to the outside dual and on the outside tread. Our trucks are operated in numberous conditions from muddy fields to pavement. Could there be an operational condition such as “curb hopping” causing this?
Since the chunking is only happening on the outside lug of the outside tire, I suspect that curbing might be the issue. I assume since you are from NJ that these trucks are operating in an "urban" environment so, that would be common.
Truck Tire Dealership

Could you direct me to a dealership in my area that sells these tires?
G288 MSA
I am looking for a 24.5
Tried to look with the website but couldn’t get it to direct me to the right page. I have not been able to locate any that have 24.5 in my area.
Appreciate the help
I think you may be looking on our consumer tire website. The commercial tire site is www.goodyear.com/truck. There is a dealer locator on this site, just enter your zip code.
Rolling resistance
Posted by Bren from Kansas City, MO, US on November 3, 2009
I work for a Freightliner dealer and I am submitting a quotation on a few tractors with G395 fuel max steers and G372A drives (295/75R22.5 14ply). The customer is requiring that I state the rolling resistance of those tires. Can you help me locate that info? I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks!
It is difficult to explain but, we do not publish rolling resistance numbers. Rolling resistance is measured on a machine that compares the values obtained to a control tire. On any particular day, with any particular machine at a certain air temperature, inflations pressure and load, you will get a rolling resistance value.
Another company doing the same test on a different machine with different conditions will most likely get a different value. Imagine you and I getting on our respective bathroom scales and comparing our relative body weights. Different scales, different conditions and, probably, not a true comparison of our weights.
