Costco Michelin Ribs update
Was able to talk to the local Costco Tire Store manager today to try to get clarification on what the warrantee would be on the Michelin Ribs 235/85 R16 tires for a 5th wheel. No mileage guarantee, No...

I suggest you consider Discount Tire for your tires. Costco would NOT provide steel stems on the tires (I had to supply), no road hazzard warranty and generally made the changeout difficult. Discount on the other hand provided steel stems at $3.00 each provided road hazzard insurance if I wanted, let me park next to their building, balanced all tires and replaced all tires with their manpower, filled with Nitrogen N/C, and generally I had a pleasant experience.
The first Discount Tire store I went to get a quote has been the most competent place so far IMHO and their quote for Michelin Ribs was competitive including added Road hazard warranty at deveral different tire shops in the western part of the country. The only thing I didn't think was very professional on their part based on the good reviews of Firestone Transforce HT's was the bad mouthing they did of these tires. They may have a valid reason to bad mouth the tires for reasons other than they don't sell them but it sure was a different feedback/recommendations than what I have received here on RV.net.
The local independant RV parts store that I have gone to for years has recommended a local tire sotre that I haven't done business with before. I'm going to get some quotes from them and see what the first impression of them is. Still haven't gotten quotes on the Firestone Transforce HT's yet either.
Found out my black tank drain is plugged(Added some special fluid to loosen stuff up now waiting) and getting pictures of the damage to the 5th wheel for insurance quotes has interfered with getting the tire quotes I need.
When it rains it pours!
