Tires

[Glazier]

I just ordered Michelin XPS Ribs for my Reflection. My trailer has yet to take its first trip, and I planed it that way. I will not trash the factory Westlake tires that were factory on this unit, I have several utility trailers I can put them on. A China tire has it's place in the market, but not under the fenders of a fiberglass camper.

I understand your concern...I'm using a 507 TPMS from TST that makes me a little more comfortable towing with the OEM tires.

I coordinated with Micah Staley to ensure we got a 303 with the mod to allow for 16" wheels and swapped the Goodrich Commercial T/As from our Laredo, leaving the trade in with new Chinese tires.

Good move

So....I should be thinking about changing tires? Love our Reflection but if the tires aren't recommended...in the Spring I'm putting our 5ER at a seasonal site and most likely next fall take it to the southwestern states for a couple of months. Advice?? Thanks!

Just got Michelin XPS Ribs installed yesterday at Discount Tire. Although we picked up our 337 at Okla. City dealer in Nov., our first trip will be in a couple of weeks. Spent a lot of time reviewing options on tires and other things. Really pleased I got the new tires and looking forward to a lot of travel this year. We start loading up the trailer today.

What size Ribs did you install ? I used 235/85/16

 

[cgoodnight]

235/85/16; slightly larger than the original 80's, but work well.

 

[Glazier]

You are correct, that's what I used. I have used 245/75/16 in the past, I just like the looks of the taller tire better. Very little difference once on the wheels. Hard to beat Ribs on 6000lb axels.

I checked the codes to see where they were made. HJ--Ballymena, Ireland
