Sean p,

I just posted this earlier today on another disccusion about tires. Do you have a Hood River? Are you tires 235's. Very curious to see what they replace with.

Hope the issue is not too serious.

Thanks

Jeff

"My 2017 HRE 179 came with Westlake 235 75 15's. They are C rated tires. I want to upgrade to D rated. But I can't find 235 trailer tires anywhere. Due to my steep incline driveway, my pod with the 235's just barley gets me up the drive. I'm afraid if I go with 225's I'll need to lay down boards or scrape my way up the drive. Anyone have any recommendations? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks"

Just got back from Going from Denver to Butte Mt. 1800 miles round trip. Saw 16 RPODS during that drive.anyway. I noticed before the trip as i needed to take the left side tire for a new stem valve on the morning we left that the tires are wearing greatly on the outside edge ONLY. By the time my trip was over and home now the right side tire's edge is almost into the belts.. stopped at my dealer on way home , they just referred me to a local alignment and axel specialist, I have an apt. this week. ANY thoughts from the experienced guys here. Also the last nite of this trip using the conv/roast mode on the micro ended up leaving the door button stuck in and the door wont close. My appointment is in sept. for that. Thanks everybody. I love this Forum.
