Firestone Tires

Anybody using firestone tires and how do you like them. I have Michelins on right now, but just blew an inside dual, and wiped out all of my propane lines. $1000 repair estimate. These tires only had 26 thousand miles and are on a 2007 29 foot four winds. I will not replace them with another set of Michelins. Thanks

    I had 6 transforce H T's put on our 31ft. 2003 Coachmen last june and handles great and ride is good.The RV had the same on it when I got it 2 years earlier and had a lot of tread but did know how long they had been on so felt safer with new ones.Price was about $1300. as I remember.

    Maybe Firestones are designed to last 6 years with no cracking.

    I am on my second set of Firestone Transforce tires. Replaced the first set after 6 years, have 4 years in the current set. I'm happy with them.

    Just put 6 new Firestone TransForce tires on.
    So far the ride is nice. And cheaper than Michelin.

    Been using them for 7 years, only 2 I had to replace early was my fault. Knocked the front out of alignment on return trip, stopping late at night rolled out early , when I finally caught it they where badly worn, almost to cord on outside edges,did not blow.

    Luckily, I replaced my 5 year old Michelins, which were badly weather checked, before they blew, I replaced them with Firestone Transforce HT's, they ride better than the Michelins, & are not as prone to sidewall cracking, & they are quite a bit cheaper than the Michelins.
    Do a search on here for Firestone Transforce.
