I should have mentioned that my 5 year old Michelin's are showing some signs of age with minor cracking and checking.

I should be good for another 5 years with Michelin despite the made up 7 year rule.

10 year. Have inspected after 7. Been averaging 8 years on my XRV's

Didn't notice any difference but mine are 315/80R/22.5....Dennis

When we needed new tires a few years ago the XRV line was back-ordered and our dealer suggested the XZE line as a replacement. I could tell no difference in the ride between the 2 and the XZE tires seem to be doing well so far.

I think they are great, really good when driving on a wet road.
