I called Camping World and got some tire ptices for the RV. They priced me 245R7019.5 which are the right size but I don't know if its the "F" or "G" rating. This was several weeks ago. I'll revise the price when I get ready to buy. As I stated before I have to have tires if I take the RV off the MHS sales lot.
They are to get a price also when their tire person comes there, when ever that is. I'm not in a hurry for it though. All prices will be balanced, mounted and on the RV. The tires we have hold air pressure. But, and its a big but, they are now seven years old and beyond the service life. The max safe age is six years. Seven years is stretching a dangerous situation. The damage a blow out can cause costs much more than a set of tires.
Camping Worlds price for Michelin XRV tires, set of six, is $413.01 plus sales tax.
Camping Worlds price for Goodyear G670 tires, set of six is $496.79 plus sales tax.
I have two other places to get prices from that handle RV tires. They are located close to each other in North Fort Worth. One is Wingfoot, 2563 NE 33rd St, 817-831-6258. The other is TCI #629, 2563 Berner St, 888- 803-9330. I have not called them yet but the website says they service RV's. Once I make the call, I will up date the information and prices here.

It is not uncommon to see RV tires with low mileage and plenty of tread that are ruined by the damaging effects of the ozone and UV rays. Ozone in the air causes tires to dry rot and deteriorate and UV rays from the sun make it happen quicker. This is especially true of the tires sidewall. Inspect your tires for checking or cracks in the sidewalls. If you notice any damage have them inspected by a professional. There are basically two ways to protect your tires from these elements. Keep them covered with covers that will block out the sunlight when not in use, or for long-term storage remove the tires and store them in a cool dry place away from the sunlight. I also recommend that you place something like a piece of wood between the ground and the tires. Be sure that whatever you use is larger then the footprint of the tire.
