Rambling

I went with Toyo M144's 295/80R/22.5 first on the front steers and liked their performance and reputation and after a blowout on the rear duals I had to use roadside assistance. Of course, it was on a Sunday in very rural Western Kansas. Luckily, we were a block from a small private RV park. It took a day for the tire service truck to come and they sold me what they had which was a used mismatched 295/75R/22.5. Well it got us home. When finances allowed I got four new matching Toyo tires for the drive duals and I vowed to carry a spare of the right size for future possible tire failures. I now have purchased a Roadmaster spare tire hitch mount holder to carry a good used spare of the right size.

Please, what is "CIP" in this context?

Hi, I'm new here. I stumbled upon this group when trying to find specifics on what type of rim I need to get in order to mount a spare tire. I have a 2003 Holiday Rambler Imperial. According to the brochure, it is on a Roadmaster chassis. I am now learning more than I ever wanted to know about all of the various types of hubs and rims for tires. I need to get the exact hub opening and Lug Spacing, Budd vs. Pilot. The known quantities are that it is for a 22.5 inch 295/80R/22.5 tire on an 8.25 wide rim. I currently have all aluminum rims on all 6 tires. This will be for a spare carried on a Roadmaster spare tire holder hitch. Most likely I'll go with a steel rim due to it being a spare to get me to the next major tire store and not be at the mercy of roadside assistance highway robbery pirates. BTW I found a deal at Camping World.
