Toering · 09-28-2002, 12:28 AM

Needing a bit of advice on what would the best tire be for a Ford E-450 type III ambulance with a gross weight of 14,000.
Looking for best ride, less failure, ect...
Thanks!

I am not sure what would be the best but it might help some of the guys help you if we new the size of the tires.

LT225/75R16 for the front and rears, Thats what came from Ford. Is anyone taking them off and putting on something they feel is better than what they got from the factory?

You may have better luck posting this question on the NAEVT Forums.

In recent months, the National Association of Emergency Vehicle Technicians (NAEVT) has had some problems with their primary website. Most of the people making access the mechanics bulletin board did so through the primary website. A process is available to gain access to the bulletin board by going to: http://www.bulletinboards.com/messa...omcode=04462388

To take up the slack and offer an alternative to all who would like to sign in, the California Fire Mechanic's association has opened their own 'no fee' bulletin board for mechanical problems and resolutions. Please feel free to join in at: http://www.cafiremech.com/CFMA_Bulletin_Board_frm.htm

You can post your question on tires on either or both bulletin boards. The bulletin boards are accessed by mechanics nationwide. The number of mechanics on line at the NAEVT site have dropped due to the problems they have with the primary site address listed on the previous response.

Respectfully submitted,

Tony
