Michelin XPS ribs on fiver and truck?
We have Goodyear 235/85/R16 tires. G rated with 7,000 lb axles. We are looking at replacing them with Michelin XPS ribs. Are there any issues we need to consider before making this purchase? Unfortuna...

I use to have Goodyear g614 and Michelin RIB,the Goodyear was a disaster(3 blow) the Michelin not to impress(one blow) I use Sailun now and so far I like them.
The initial release of Goodyear G614s (roughly 2004 through 2007) had tread separation problems. Since the 2007 redesign, I haven't heard of a significant number of failures. We lost 2 of the OEM G614 RSTs on our 2004 Mobile Suites in 2007. Goodyear replaced the tires with the new design, and I had no problems with the replacements through 2010 when I upgraded to 17.5" wheels and tires.
I ran LT235/85R16E Michelin XPS Ribs on both our 2000 Jayco Designer XL 3610RLTS and our 2002 Ram 3500 dually and never had any problems with them whatsoever.
