If it is like ours, it is dropping air pressure to tag bags when you are hearing the audible beeping. I have only used this feature a couple of times in some really tight spaces in a couple of RV parks in St. George, UT & Mesquite, NV. It did seem to help a little. But not enough to keep me from looking for bigger spaces & wider roads to start with. Our steer wheels will turn at a standstill on concrete. We have 11R24.5 steer tires.

Thanks all for the input. I don’t remember the overpressure poppets in the wheel with the 315s. Am I doing damage when I feel those surges in the wheel?
When you are in a situation where you have to move 2-3 ft at a time forward and backward in parking the coach, what are the best techniques to accomplish the most ground in the least number of forward and back movements?

No damage, that's what the poppets are for.
I don't know what others do, but I apply pressure to the steering wheel, and as soon as the coach starts to move I apply a lot more. It doesn't matter how fast you are going, just that the tire is rolling to allow the steering wheel to move.
And, most importantly for me, I remember to not get in a hurry.

If the situation allows Just keeping your foot off the brake while steering can allow the tire to shift enough to allow for steering movement.

I have located the 365 tires locally for around 800 ea but they don't have the rims. Any suggestions where to buy them and do you know what size I need to be looking for?
Thanks
Dario

Dario, just curious but did you get your price through the Michelin Advantage program?

I have my new rims and 365 tires dated in mid January, mounted and balanced here in my shop if anyone wants them. I have $2200 in them.
I'm in W Monroe , LA on I-20 and can bring them to the rally if they haven't sold. My coach is #458, the last known coach number so far that they won't fit.
