I wonder why they recommend the LTX when they will not warrant ANY BFG tires that they also make.
Certainly just your opinion as dozens of RV.net members and the rest of the trailering world have no problems getting BFG to recommend their LT tires on our trailers and we get a full mfg registered warranty. We've posted emails for you before from Michelin but your only interested in what you want to hear.

Again just passing on the info from Michelin take it for what its worth and again thanks to all who help me out.
We've heard all this before and has been discussed many many times on this and other trailering forums. No where in Michelin XPS Rib advertising do they mention the tire is a summer tire only. As was mentioned before about phrasing questions your answer from Michelin is a classic example of what not to say which can back the tire maker into a corner.
Commercial users run the XPS tire on our trucks and trailers 352 days a year from Alaska to Florida and have no problems. We simply don't see issues out here in the real world with the XPS Ribs in the winter.
Guess he will find out over time the hard way of what works best vs what doesn't.
