My 4106 has 11r22.5 tires.
Load range G on the front
Load range H on the back
Is this correct?
I would have thought they would all be the same.
And what would be the correct load range?
Thanks

Kevin,
Best way is to weigh each axle of your bus and get tires that are rated for your weight. Any pocal truck stop with a CAT scale can weigh each axle. This will also allow you to inflate the tires to the proper PSI for your weight. Jack
Kevin -
Your 4106 has a GVWR of 32,000.
12K on front
20K on rear.
Run your coach across a set of truck scales to obtain the weight you're currently carrying "loaded 'n ready to go"
Go to the specs page for the tire manufacturer that you have on your coach and look up your model tire to see what weight it can handle.
While there, also go to the load inflation tables and see what pressures you should be running, front & rear.
That's the only way to intelligently answer your question.
FWIW & HTH. . .

Without a doubt, RJ has it covered. I find that I feel better though if I add an extra 5 psi to whatever the chart says. I think that covers whatever I might have added since the last time I actually did weigh the bus.
Lots of bus people like the G rated on the front gives you a softer ride the G's are 14 ply and H's are 16 ply
