Correct.

And, very minor suggestion: I would suggest changing the verb from "sponsors", to the phrase "offer members fleet pricing on ...."

"FMCA also sponsors Bridgestones and Continentals......Dennis "

FMCA sponsors Michelin, BF Goodrich, Continental, and Hankook. no Bridgestone

I called Michelin and gave them my card number and Michelin charged my card for the tires. I requested new tires and that is what I receives. I paid the dealer for mounting, balancing and alignment. I also had the service center to purchase a new rim and mount a tire on it for a spare that I carry in the bay.

Directions are on FMCA's website. Follow them exactly. Easy to do. Call, give them a credit card for the tires. (You can see prices on their website) Schedule an install with a local tire place that subscribes to their program. You'll have to pay the dealer directly for mounting and balancing. FMCA will bill you for the tires after installation. I swapped with the dealer for the old tires. He did the mounting and balancing, and I gave him my old tires. Worked for both of us as I didn't have to mess with Craigslist. The only caveat is to make sure you tell the tire shop you want fresh tires. I ordered Michelins and they were one month old tires..FMCA also sponsors Bridgestones and Continentals......Dennis

Makes no difference if it's diesel or gas.> Mine is a gasser. 22.5" mitchlin XRV's were factory.. I priced them through FMCA at I think 3500 for six plus install (I got them cheaper straight up here in SC but that's another story. I may have gotten a deal as the tire man owed me big time from another job I got him on a dead semi.. long story).

I went with TOYO's they are less than 1% difference in outside diamater (So the speedometer is still close to accurate. less than one mpg off at 100 MPH and this house won't go that fast,,, not even down hill with a tail wind... tested (ok so I did not touch the accelerator peal but it peaked at 82mph)

2230 for six of 'em as I recall.. Straight up (Last October). only dropped the Motor home one time while installing them (No damage save to their parking lot.. kind of funny story).

Can you give me the name of the Shop in Great Falls?

Will be passing thru there at end of March

Thanks

Well pleased with my FMCA Michelin tire purchasing experience.

Sold old tires on Craigslist for $600.00 as dealer didn't want them.

PastorCharlie, You REALLY got a good deal on both ends. We talked to a tire service in Great Falls, Montana and got his price through FMCA. This summer when we get to Montana we will do the deal. We'll save another couple of hundred dollars with no sales tax. Florida is 8.5%. We were planning on going back to Montana anyhow so this way it will be win-win.Thanks for your information. It sounds like everyone is very pleased with their experience.
