I am taking my unit in to the local Ford dealer to get an oil change & replacement tires (due to the Michelin recall). I am reading some things on the 'net that supplies of replacement tires aren't real high. I guess that makes sense given the number of tires that need to be replaced. So, looking for feedback from others who had this done recently, is there a long wait to get replacement tires? I am taking the unit on an 1800 mile trip in about 4 weeks so really would like it resolved by then. Figuring that should be OK but just curious what others have experienced recently.

Had my tires replaced with Michelin MS2's back on January 22nd. It took the local Michelin dealer a week to get the new tires. Availability may have changed since then as more folks get in line for replacement tires.

I just had mine replaced by my dealer also due to the recall. It took them about 3 days to get the tires. Jim

I doubt if others experience is going to help you much.I would think it would be a local tire dealer issue and would vary.I wouldn't wait until the last minute if I was planning a trip though.I did get mine replaced mid January. My local dealer had 7 in stock.

Why not call the Ford dealer your going to and ask them if they have them or how long it will take to get them?

We are roaming around Florida and therefore not in one place for more than say 10 days. We have called around but due to our moving and lack of stock at the tire places, so far we have been unsuccessful in getting tires. Probably looking at April for us when we get home, unfortunately!There are very fine checks in a small part of the sidewalls.Good luck...go early, don't delay and given them time to get them. The local guy told us there were 8 tires in ohio!!!

I read reviews off the tire on several different sites and it got very good ratings. I've put 900 miles on them since installed and am so far pleased. They aren't noisier than the OEM tire and seem to be a slightly softer ride. I just hope the infamous sidewalls hold up. Time will tell.

You may need to be a little more assertive when talking to the tire salesperson.I was first told there was a 7 to 8 week back order. When I told them I was going on a trip in a week and that I'd sure hate to have a blowout of a recalled tire and cause damage and,or injury due to tires being on backorder he called me back within 30 minutes with 3 different tire choices for me to choose from. I'm very pleased with my 7 replacement tires.....No Cost.

As related above, call a tire shop, bring rig in for check of date codes, they will order a set of replacememts, it should take a 2 or 3 business days.

I waited until I would be using the RV. Today I called my local Ford dealer to set up an appointment. They declined, stating that Michelin still hadn't paid them for two recalls in March! I called Michelin Consumer Care @ 1-800-231-5893. Was on hold for over an hour, and finally gave up...
