M/H Tire Replacement

The tires on my diesel pusher are now almost 6 years and 40K miles old and
according to most sources this is a good time to replace them especially
since we are headed out XC in September.

The current tires are Michelin XRV's, 235/80R22.5.  I've gotten very good
service from them and have had no issues with any of the Michelins on my
past three coaches.  Normally I would replace them with identical tires but
a lot of people, including tire dealers (even some who offer Michelins) and
trucking companies along with other campers are saying the Michelin is over
rated and that they have had some manufacturing defects and recommend a
different brand.  Good Year seems to be the quality tire of choice for them
now.

Does anyone have any experience with the Michelins or Good Years, or any
other brand for that matter that can offer some good advice.  Money is not
an object when compared to safety and reliability in a tire.  Nationwide
replacement is also a consideration.  Thanks in advance.

Individual experiences mean little.

Buy fresh (check date code) correctly-sized/rated tires, make sure
they are round, balanced and correctly inflated according to the
relevant inflation chart for your weight (scale-confirmed).  Choose a
vendor with nationwide coverage (GY, Michelin, Bridgestone, etc) and
keep in mind that they all try very hard to provide good buyer
satisfaction, and all screw up occasionally.

My advice, do not listen to the noisy minority who will tell you
they'll never agian buy a xxxxxxxxxx tire because they had a bad
experience.

Will Sill - think about this:

stupid people are persuaded to accept them.

It's ok to buy tires made in China or Firestones, you'll meet the Great
Creator sooner. God may not recall the tires but he'll recall those who use
them! Glory!

Do not listen to Will Sill, he speaks from only his experience.

Amen!
