Yup -- Caveman Mark here:
8.75 General tires, Load range "D" 5 years old, paid $57 per tire.
40k miles on them now. They get replaced in '99. I've been very happy with
them,
but I'm concerned due to their age and capacity.
Sams Club in my area still has them. They're now $82.
Had Michelins when I got the coach, they were at least 5 years old and had
very cracked sidewalls. The tread started to separate so I took them off.
