Fireston 561 or Hankook?

Diesel pusher. Have Hankook 275/70R22.5 on there now, and 7 years old from manufacture.
Same price for the saem H weight Hankook or J rated Firestone 561's.

Hankooks have been fine. Ride a little hard. I don't imagine going to a J is going to improve the ride.
Any thoughts based upon experience?

Oh the Michilines are much more expensive of course, and not on the list.

If it's only between those two, and you've had such good service out of the Hankooks, I think you've answered your own question. :C

I have to say these tires have been way better using the inflation chart, and really reducing my tire pressure. I think I have 70 in the fronts by memory.

I have the Firestone tires and have been fighting the coach wandering. I can't say for sure it is the tires but it could be. I bought the coach used almost 2 years ago and it had Michelin tires on it but they were aged out so I only drove it to the tire shop when I bought it I am not sure how it handled before with the Michelins.

I have had the front end aligned and added a steer safe but haven't been on more than a test ride since doing these things. My coach is also a diesel pusher.
