Also found this article http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/groupbounder_diesel/message/297 It was on page 8 of a Michelin XRV google pdf search it's technical but states where XRV's are on a Freightliner front axle of a DP and the total weight is 90 lbs. over the rating of the XRV.Last time that I did that Diesel Pusher Owners were upset at Michelin because of tire blow outs! I Looked up there profile to see that they were DP Owners running XRV's and on Michelins website it say's XRV should not be run on DP's due to load rating factors (DP's are to heavy to run XRV's).
Hey Rooster, can you provide a link to the Michelin Website where it specifically says XRVs should not be run on DPs? I've heard this before, but can't find it on the site. Thanks!
