I wish they were $500! LOL! Back in 2013, I replaced eight tires on our 2008 Dynasty.... about $665 each using the FMCA Michelin discount. They were 295/80R/22.5's. And, I know different size tires have different prices, just jabbing at-cha. :D
The new coach has 365's on the front, 315's on the drive axle and 365's on the tag. Prevost replaced my front tires under warranty as I was getting a vibration in the front-end. They replaced the two front tires and aligned the whole coach. The two front Michelin's, 365's, were listed on the invoice at $1,008 each.
My understand is, that Michelin is the only manufacturer making a 365 tire. If you've never seen one (I hadn't until this coach), they are very wide tires. And, I would consider a different brand if my size tire was made by another manufacturer, but I've had excellent service with my Michelins except for the above. New tires are fine. At just shy of 56,000 lbs., we need a robust tire.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm stick'n to it!
Safe travels,
