I just put a set of TOYO Eclipse P225 75R 15 with a 1" white wall on my OCC. Nice quiet tires with a 70 mile limited warrantee.

I also bit the bullet for two new Trailer tires for the Airstream after a freeway blowout. It beat the crap (no pun intended) out of the aluminum belly pan releasing some waste liquids but no solids from the black tank.
It did no damage to the original tank or valve so I got by easy this time.

We put 1600 miles on the car pulling the trailer in the last couple of weeks. I sure like the 3.73 ring/pinion gear ratio. Next May we take off on a post retirement trip around the country, perhaps for one year.

We think so too. Maybe we will get to a Wagon fest in 2014.

Chris,
I am going to do some sort of travelogue (blog?). I do not even know how to do a blog. I am a member of http://www.airforums.com/ for Airstream trailers. So I will post pictures and/ or a link to future blog here and there.

Any IT guy with a suggestion for a non tech geezer? We leave on May 1st.

Congrats on the new white walls but it looks like they're well past the warranty now. Razz

I was asking for a friend of mine. Unfortunately they are only available in Canada and apparently the NW.

PostSubject: Toyo Tires   New Rubber Icon_minitimeFri Sep 27, 2013 6:29 pm

I also bought a set of the same tires last week. I've had very good experiences with Toyo tires. The "Eclipse" model is sold in the NW US through Les Schwab stores; elsewhere, the same tire is known as the "Extensa A/S". They are available in Caprice/RMW sizes with whitewalls and can also be found on eBay.
