Anyone notice the comment the OP posted about his conversation with Michelin?:S I spoke to TWO different BF Goodrich employees by phone when three of their Advantage T/A's developed broken belts or ripped the belts. They emphatically said that the LT tires were not to be used on trailers. Placed myself and others in danger and would not warrant them. This was when they were recalling those tires a few years ago. Some on here say they have spoken to BFG and there was no issue with using those tires.
Last year I picked up a nail in my Firestone Transforce tire on my camper. Took it off and went to a Firestone dealer for repair. He chastised me for using them on an RV. and said Firestone would not warrant them.
OP here...someone mentioned about Airstream using Michelin LT tires, I checked the Airstream website and the do say that...not the XPS RIB judging by the tire size...So...how can the top of the line airstream be sold with Michelin LT tire with out that approval from Michelin for Trailer use?
