Tire sizes

My rig is in storage and I can't get to it until the weekend. I'm looking to change out the steel wheels to aluminum wheels and one of my clients is going to get a price for switching out the wheels. My problem is that I don't know the tire size. I know the wheels are 22.5" and 8.25 or 8.5" inches wide, but I don't know the tire size. If any of you who have access to your units could let me know what size tires are on a Berkshire 390bh, I would really appreciate it.

These are the same size I show on ours.

We have the aluminum wheels option on our unit. One note is that the front and outside rear are aluminum - but I believe the inside rears are still steel.

Good Luck!

Alex

Thanks for the info. I got a price for the total upgrade. It looks like it will run me a little over $1900 to do the whole transformation. I think that will be worth it for the sake of safety, esthetics, and just cool factor. Okay, so I'm a kid at heart.

You're right Iggy. It is just for the wheels and the labor and balancing. I actually thought it was going to run over $2500 so it isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
