Michelin 22.5 tires

Thanks to all who shared some good advice/preferences on tires. I finally went ahead and put the Michelins on, and so far I am really happy with them. It was only the ride home from the tire dealer, but I could surely tell a difference in the ride over the Goodyears. Camping World had a good sale on them, so I bought them and took them to a tire shop myself to have them mounted and balanced. So far so good ....thanks.:) (execpt the ones that chimed in on stuff that had nothing to do with tires):(

Yep have camped in every state at state parks, stayed at a place called Baja Sunrise Rv park in southern Baja Mexico ocean front campsite with hook ups $32.00 a night would highly recommend if you ever go to Mexico

Stay at state parks and never a problem, did stay at a park in Baja Mexico with no problems. Not a big fan of RV parks.

Oh, I see. Interesting.

^^^^ Small layover at property I own on Lake Tahoe Nevada get the rig serviced then heading north to roam around Canada for a couple of months. Yeah early retirement is awesome spent 4 years traveling around the world then I . discovered Super C rvs and the rest is history. Had one custom built by Haulmark to my specifications I'm a retired process engineer so I can be pretty anal but Haulmark built what I ordered spent 5 months waiting for it to be completed.

wow, Way cool. I've been travelling since I was 3, because of daddy's job. For a while I got tired of all the travelling and laid low for many yrs, but then I "Recoverd." LOL. Then I met my present wife and we've been travelling 10 yrs now. I wanted a Super Duper C too, but I learned that there are some CG's that only allow Class A's. Have you ever been turned away from a Class A only CG?

I never see anyone mention Continental tires, I install them at less cost and are very good tires.

I would agree, but I just got talked out of them at a tire Dealer that sells them along with Michelin, Bridgestone, and Firestone. He said out of the 4, the Continentals would be his number 4 recommendation for a MH. I was looking at the EcoPlus HS3. His reasoning, and take it for what it is worth from a Dealer, is the Continental was more fickle for care and sensitive to pressures. Some drivers complained that after a 750 mile run the tread on the steer axles would start to show odd wear that forced them to rotate positions to save the tire.

I'm definitely not doubting anything you say or that your tire guy says. But tires that are sold on the U.S. market have to meet certain criteria and standards....By Law. Don't you find it hard to believe that Compared to the competition, Continental would be able to sell such a subpar/problematic tire? Personally I doubt The NHTSA would give their "blessing" to a tire that performed that way, compared to others. JMHO. What do you think?

Ya like I say, it was a tire dealer talking so take it for what it was worth. The next tire dealer may say something completely different. Standing there looking at 4 different tires that all look the same, you kind of struggle to hear any advice being offered.

As far as government approval - that doesn't give me a warm fuzzy at all - I read their daily recall emails on tires they previously approved, and coming from a 5th wheel with that nightmare of imported ST tire and blowouts, the comfort of US specifications and standards don't mean much to me.

Wow that's soo cool. Yeah we don't go up north. We like it Hot. We go as far north as St. Goerge UT, then come back "down." lol. I retired at 45 so I know what you mean with early retirement.
