On a Newell coach or other motorcoach does it matter if the brand of tires are the same? On size and design does it matter on year of coach? My brain is thinking...:question:

Thanks Nara

Nara, for the most part, it is always nice to match brand and tire model all the way around. Size on these beast are almost always the same with the exception of the later models with slides increasing the frontend weight where as increasing the size of the fronts to 365s. On the the older coaches, keeping things matched up is the way to go for most. There are some that like to run a different tread pattern for increased traction on the rears while others will opt for steers all the way around. This is just my opinion and what I have seen in many instances.

I agree that it's nice to match brands all the way around, I would insist on a match per axle...and that match per axle would include percent of wear.
