Tire Prices

[luvrbus]

Friends of ours are looking for 8 -315/80/22.5 Michelins for their coach and they are getting prices from $12,800.00  to $13,550.00 with a 18-week delivery date.  I complained about $8000.00 last year wow.Forget about the FMCA discounts tires made in China are looking better

Wow I looked up Toyos and for 6 was only #2400.00 with free shipping. Mounting probably extra but those are a lot higher?

I gave 8 grand for my 315/80/22.5 Toyos last year with no sales tax and waited 2 weeks for delivery, I wonder what the 365's cost now

coolant and tires always go up in proportion to fuel prices. Market basket reference doesn't include them in inflation factor. Inflation will be figured on lowest side till after Nov., at least.

Why does everything have to turn political with the least inference or none at all, as in this case. I held my opinion of the worst President in the history of the United States, during the last torturous presidency and the insurection he engineered, for the good of our great community. No President can keep America from a worldwide slow down or isolate from the machinations of war, not even Trump or his ilk Nixon. This isn't facebook...

There are other tires out there besides Michelin. My guess is that if they are backordered the supply is being outstripped by demand - find another brand which isn't so far behind on production and the prices will be lower.

I'm seeing Firestone FS400 in 315 size going for about $950 online right now. It's a great tire which we used for a few years without problems.

Maybe 40wt CF2  is made from those Michelin tires cause the cheapest I can that it is onlne Wallmart Sinopec $73 5/gal.

Richard,Prevost people like and run Michelin for some reason,I think it is because Michelins ride better with the 130 psi pressure on the steers,he has 365's on the steers I found out not the 315's that increases the price too/could be now other tire manufactures make a 365 but Michelin is the ony one I know of since they were special for the newer Prevost

[chessie4905]

I don't think much is different forever. When I was a little kid, heard parents complaining about Truman and Eisenhower. Didn't even knoew who they were. Right to complain and of opinions is the flavor of this place. If tire, battery, oil , antifreeze, and coach brands get heated here, no different in personal politics. As long as some one doesn't get mad and leave, We all are a great group that everyone benefits from.

If someone is stuck on a particular brand, then you got to pay what they ask and wait till they're ready.
