Diesel motorhome tire advice

We put hankook tires on our old Monaco 34 ft diesel pusher. I asked our truck fleet managers and they had had real good luck with them. I really think there are some great choices at a certain price point. There were firestons on the Rv when we bought it. They looked brand new,mbut they were six years old. We were told the same thing. You will never wear them out,but if you run too many years on them, be prepared to blow them out.

I have had friends that kept running old tire that looked brand new. It always ended with them being stuck on the roadside. No trouble stopping safely, but a tire chunking out on an Rv tends to take plastic, air lines and anything else in the way.
