I originally had the 'FireBoom' (Firestone) tires. Never had a blow out, but the ride was terrible ... very rough. Four months ago, I mounted Michellins and the ride was greatly improved.

Seems I was right. The rig seems to have a firmer grip of the road, more stable, better clearence and smoother ride.

Also, did you go to a truck dealership for the tires or are there any tire places (or big named discount stores like Coscto) that can handle the height and weight of an RV on a lift to change the tires?
