Changing Tires to Michelins?

As we prepare to hit the road full time with our 2014 Winnebago Lite Five, my gut feeling tells me to remove the stock tires (yes the are made in China) and go with a more reliable American made product. Although I have a TPMS, I still don't have the confidence in the current tires for extended trips in the south. My dealer has quoted me a price of $984 out the door for 4 Michelin LTX/MS2 70K tires, which in checking is an outstanding price once you consider mounting and such.

Who may have any experience with this tires on their rig to provide feedback on how they perform on the road?

I don't know what size tires you require, but if they make a Michelin XPS Rib to fit your trailer I would go for that. With the Rib's you will have complete peace of mind. To use the old Timex jingle, they will take beating and keep on ticking.

You can read all about them on the Airstream forum.

That tire is also an option on some new Airstream models from the factory.
