Michelin LTX Recall BLOWOUT!!!
Hello, I am new to forum and new to RVing. I bought a almost mint 2003 Winniebago Minnie 29B last September. It basically sit up for several years so we have had to do work on the RV from sitting...

The LTX MS2 should be fine for lighter Class C motorhomes. For heavier longer motorhomes I like the design margin afforded by heavier, all-steel casing tires.
Unfortunately Bridgestone appears to have discontinued the Duravis M895 M+S. It no longer appears in their catalog as it did when I purchased my 7 tires last year. Tirerack shows only the 215/85-R16 size.
For M+S tires of that type it seems only the even more expensive Goodyear G947 RSS Armor Max is left. It has this tread pattern:
There have been folks that have the G947 on this forum but have not heard anything from them for a long time.
More info on the G947 here from Goodyear:

Another factor to consider when researching tires is to look at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site for information about complaints/recalls of the Brand/Model you are researching.

The Duravis M895 is a much lower volume tire than the LTX MS or MS2 tires, however there are zero recalls or complaints.
