[A/S] Re: More on tires
Hello Dianne
Both Bridgestone and Yokahama make a 7.00 x 15" Radial tire though
you will likely have to special order them. Either of these would be
a much better choice for your Airstream than Travel Trailer tires.
Make sure they are spin balanced when they are installed and though
they are 8 ply and rated to carry 65 PSI you should only run 45-50 on
a 25'. Do not let them sell you a bias ply tires for an Airstream as
these ride too hard.
Unless you are planing on Alaska or Mexico you really do not need a
spare. With the 7.00 x 15 Tire flats are very rare and if you do get
one it will run all day on 3 wheels. If you have to run a long
distance on 3 wheels you put the single tire up to 65 PSI. It is
something I have done many times and I just keep the speed down to 50
MPH.
