The 275/70R22.5 tires on my RV are NOT available. Bummer. What I hearing is the truckers will get them first when they become available.

we have found that the tire discount we get from being members of the Family Motor Coach Association more than pay for the cost of the membership ....

Gotta say, I'm all for more truckers to get rolling!
Good luck though Gene. Anything but steer tires can be re-treaded.

Don't feel bad, Goodyear told us they have trouble getting tires for the Titan and Frontier.

I’ve been on the phone most of the morning. Online dealers that say they have tires do not actually have them. Kind of like ammo where they advertise just to get your name and number.
I found six Goodyear tires which are bottom of the barrel. Or at least the only six they had. They are only 12 ply and not 18. Not only that but they are twice what they should be.
