I purchased my Toyota RV 2 years ago. I just love it! It came with tires in ok shape but now need replacing. They are 205/75 - 14. I know the original are smaller because this size does not fit in the spare tire holder on the rear and so I put it on the roof.

Could someone tell me what is recommended for this.

It is 6cyl with auto trans.

As well as recommended tire pressure?

thanks!

Hi see http://toyotamotorhome.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7398, I went with the Hankooks and liked em so much I put 2 on my Ford, but a different size.

With the RA08's on the RV I run 55# rears, 48# in fronts, much higher than the reccomendation of Dolphin. It rides better with lower rear tire pressure but I did not like the small space between the rears when they flatten out. Above 55# the flatting out and thus the tire gap quit changing. YMMV :)

The correct tire size is 185R14. They are "D" rated and can be inflated to 65psi. Look at www.tires-easy.com they have quite a good selection.

I know everyone says you can't go larger because the tires will rub in the middle but those bigger tires look fantastic on your rig. If you don't have a problem with the distance between the duallies here's a D load range of a similar tire. These will actually look a little bigger but won't be any wider.

I've done some reading about reduced clearance of dualies on 18-wheelers. Not only is rubbing of tire sidewalls a concern, but also excessive heat build-up due to reduced airflow between tires, even if they don't physically touch.

To be technical here - the "correct" tire according by what Toyota shipped 80s dually cab & chassis trucks with - is C-range tires for duallies. Toyota shipped D-range with single-rear tire setups. Nissan is the company that set the precedent for shipping dually trucks with D-range rear tires.
