Tires
The Michelin XPS ribs I purchased 6+ years ago have aged out.:( They have been a great tire.:) Does anybody have a suggestion for a replacement brand? One tire store told me they don't make that tire ...

The XPS Ribs are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire. My truck tire dealer says their still available from Michelin.
Many folks find a better cost with the Bridgestone R-238 LT E. Its also a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire so you won't be down grading going with them.
The R238 and XPS Ribs are the top of the heap in LT E tires for trailers.
It looks like the R238 is the way to go. They are slightly less expensive. And they are available. I don't understand the reluctance on the Michelin tires. They sell other Michelin tires.
When I ran a fleet I used Bridgestone tires and never had a problem. I was able to recap them multiple times.
Thanks
