I understood that Newell switched from 11R24.5 to 315/80R22.5 on the front axle only as of July 1, 1995. The rear and tag tires remained 11R24.5 through the early 2000 year models when they switched to 315/80R22.5 all around. Starting with coach #443, MOST, could get the front tires/wheels upgraded to 365/70R22.5. The VIN plate should show which size tires your coach was built with.
Newell had great luck with Bridgestone and Goodyear tires in the 11R24.5. When the change to 315/80R22.5 occurred, Newell found that the Michelins gave better service and had a voluntary recall in 1999 to retrofit all Bridgestone and Goodyear 315/80 steer axle tires with Michelins in the same size. This applied to all coaches built from 7/1/1995-9/30/1999. Newell started putting Michelins 315/80R22.5 on the front axle from the factory 10/1/1999.
