I chose Toyo’s when I needed tires. I purchased them at my local Firestone tire dealer whose final price beat both the FMCA pricing & quotes that I had from a couple of tire dealers in OR where there is no sales tax. Michelin’s are good tires but it’s hard to justify the higher cost knowing that they will age out long before running out of tread. I often bought Toyo tires for our regional trucks for many years when I was working.

I have used the FMCA program in the past but the last time I was shopping for tires I checked around & was able to get better pricing at my local Firestone dealer here in central CA. Their total price including mounting & balancing was better than what I saw from several tire dealers in Oregon where they have no sales tax! It just goes to say that we should shop for the best deal. I do think that if we have tire issues we probably would like to have bought from a dealer that we have a past business relationship with.

Thanks!

ncsteve.... I am new to Monaco having bought a 09 Camelot recently......what is a MSC search? Thanks

I would appreciate hearing what you find is causing this so I can benefit from your solutions.

I recently bought an '09 Camelot with the same intermittent issues on both the left & right sides near the front of the coach as we are driving. I was washing the outside of the coach before our last trip when I I discovered that above the left front tire the exterior wall moved a little when I braced myself by pushing on it, I tightened the vertical mounting screw on the backside right above the tire. I didn't notice the intermittent rattle on our last trip. Now, the similar rattle on the right side still exists as I didn't find anything needing tightening on that side. The coach also has an irritating squeak coming from the left front slide by the galley sink amidships. With the slide retracted I can make the squeak happen by pushing on the countertop in front of the sink. An old friend had a saying......."Needs more thinking" so I am still working on these two issues.
