The greatest advantage for them is that the pressure stays constant over a greater temperature range. I replaced all 6 of my tires with Goodyear Wingfoot "steer" tires. [Editor's note: Newell had good experience with Goodyear tires prior to 1997. However, with the change to 315/22.5 metric sized tires, we experienced very poor reliability with Goodyear tires, with sudden tread separations and blowouts. Therefore, we do not recommend Goodyear tires in the 315/22.5 size.] They work well...smooth and quiet. I'm thinking that the main reason the "big rigs" use different tires on the rear is for traction while accelerating. Since I dont drive my coach in the snow or mud I felt OK with trading traction for smooth and quiet.
