Getting ready for a long trip, 1500 miles up to N. Oregon, Denver, New Mexico, and back to So. Cal. I replace my tires in 8/11 with Michelins. One back tire is badly cracked all are showing some cracks. BTW, most of the time, the tires have been covered, or in shade.

Any thought about brands other than Michelin and Goodyear would be appreciated. Sumitomo, Kelly?

So, what do you think, sage group, do I bite the bullet or not.

seems odd there cracking but then Michelins are notorious for such don't know why so many people waste money on them.I sure will not
I bought my MH in 2011 it has 2007 tires on it;; They were all cracked back then (Michelins) replaced fronts last fall and replacing rears this fall. the cracks from 7 years ago stayed the same as when I bought it;(never got any worse) going to Hercules @ 367$ verses 810$ for michelin
I only drive 4 K per year

Hostage, I find Michelin to be a very quality tire. Our first motorhome had Michelin's that I drove for 7.5 yrs and 57,000 miles. The replacement set of Michelin's I drove for 12,000 miles over 1.5 yrs. before selling. No cracks on either set.

The new coach has Michelin tires and at 39,000 miles and 32 months, no cracks.

I will replace with Michelin's when the time comes.
