Anyone interested in a set of front steer tires and wheels?
I have a gorgeous set of Accuride polished aluminum front wheels with Michelin 295/75/22.5 XZE Energy's on them. I think I am going to put floats on the front. They have 20k miles on them and I think the tires were bought in 2011. Does $700 + shipping sound fair for the wheels and tires mounted?

could you send me pics and your location or feel free to call me as I am interested

I just went out in the shop and took pics and they are 295 8 22.5 Michelin XZA2 Energy. Lug nuts, lug covers and center caps are not included. They are showing 15/32's on them. I am in Mt Juliet Tn 10 mils east of Nashville.

Sounds like a great price to me. I wish they were 11R22.5 I'd buy them.
|
man if they matched mine, id buy 'em as spares....if nothing else this is good for a BUMP to the TOP.
get ready to be asked for the stamped date of mfg code....someone is gonna want it. |
I took a set of 315's mounted on Alcoa Durabrite rims with a little more wear than that and got $600 for the pair.
I installed a pair of 365/70R22.5 XZA and new 10.5" wide Durabrite rims. I think next time I would use a different offset wheel to get a little more steering angle. Also installed a larger capacity spring pack while doing this modification. What is your front axle weight? Good luck with your endeavor. |

No problem on the date codes. Somebody just needs to tell me which letters to get. |
I think the date code is a 4 digit number, the first two are the week so they should be less than 53, and the last two are the last two of the year. And I don't think there are any other numbers or letters around them. So if you see something like "1612" that would mean it was made in the 16th week of 2012. I think. And they might be only on one side of the tire. But I'm not sure about any of this.

You hit it right on the head, Bob. Here is what a date code looks like:

If you are at 14k why not use a 9" rim and upgrade to 315/80R22.5 tires (9090 lb per)
I see that there are 2 different offsets to the 12.25 rim and those big floats are usually speed rated at 65 mph. PM me if you want |

Im curious how does your rear compare to mine. this slip was taken a couple of weeks ago...full to the brim w/ fuel (140 gal) and water (220g over the rear axle). i feel like I'm a little heavy on the rear...but i don't know what i could do to lighten that load...leave tools & grill at home ? sure cant take the 10kw gen out ;) https://www.truckconversion.net/attac...c0e619b83c.jpg |
Don, I am right at 30k on the rear with completely full load. I'm at 42 to 44k#'s total depending on load. Is yours a single axle? The GVW on mine is 56k#'s for the truck. My combined GCVW is around 61k with the boat behind it. I'm not taking anything out. I just keep putting chit in it. :)
|
yeah our coach is a single axle - ill have to look at the GVWR / GCWR to confirm it, but i think I'm at 42k GCWR.
oh trust me we have tons of crap on board - except for food were stocked and ready to go (still takes us at least an hour to get it outta the garage & rolling down the highway). |

I just booked the week of Christmas at this place. Buena Vista Coastal RV Resort - Coastal living at its finest. I got us one with a Tiki hut, grill and fireplace. And they allow golf carts. It is right across the street from the gulf.

I've been wanting to reprogram a few features on ours (cruise set point & starting gear)....but our freightliner shop is busy as hell & i really don't want to leave the coach in their shop parking for weeks for them to get to it. |

we just toured Buena Vista Coastal RV.... 205k and up for the lots, plus 250ish for the coach house (no garage), there are some plans for coach houses with a separate (enclosed) garage - but theyre still in the planning stages so no mention of prices (ill assume the construction rates of 200 bucks per sq foot apply). the association fees are over 300 a month & the insurance is a pooled (escrow) insurance. HOA Architecture committee consists of 5 votes (one held by the developer). It's interesting in that theyre building some elaborate pool/beach/water park w/ restaurant - that will be owned by the developer and LEASED out....It seems that someone has a plan to allow access to that water park (and the in-door pool/conf center at the front of the "community") via a back entrance road. the coach houses are all constructed of cinderblock (filled w/ concrete)....and theyre still charging 200 bucks per sq foot...pretty pricey imo. rentals are managed by a 3rd party. Owners receive 70% of the rental fee...i have a feeling the developer is getting a cut too (but i didnt drill down on it). theres one lot for sale by owner - its probably the best deal given the owner is only asking 225k and has already built the outdoor kitchen/fire place & tiki hut. 400k+ for an RV lot (70' x 40') seems pretty pricey to me, consider I've still got to have a coach (and the coach cant be older than 10yrs). |

I did check the date code on the tires and it says 4809. I am assuming they were manufactured in the last week of November 2009?? I guess they were over a year old when they were put on. They show NO signs of dry rot. My rig stays inside covered with tire shine climate controlled when not in use.
|
sounds like Windemere is a nice bargain.
clearly i have to start playing the lotto more regularly, cause I'm too old to work harder. |

Don, your rig is too old already. What about Lake Wier? That looks like a pretty nice development.

Hahaha, ya, your rig looks so old and run down. I sure wouldn't want to have it next to mine.
