Thank you for posting this - I have them on my Class C, and our production code is one of those included in the recall. The Michelin website did a terrible job of finding us a nearby dealer to handle this (it claimed there were NO dealers); however, by calling them on the phone, a nice young man named Carl directed me to scads of dealers who will replace our 6 tires for free. While they would *like* us to replace the tires ASAP - there is no "window" to have this done and since our Class C is going nowhere, I'll wait and do it in the spring when the roads are better.

Since they are on a recall, talk to your dealer and see if you can get the XPS put on for the swap. I had BFG Commercial TA's on my 5er and since Michelin also owns BFG they swapped my BFG's for the XPS since I wanted a conventional tread tire and not a M/S. My BFG's were $775/new and the XPS's were $1335/new. I felt blessed with the swap.

Great idea:)

I've used that tire on some of my trucks before, but don't have them now. Never even thought about using them on a 5er, but did use the Michelin XPS RIBS on a 5er...
