New Tires

I have never had 1 blowout and you have 5? You have an issue somewhere and it's not the brand.

Be thankful you guys don't live in Canada. Quote for Michelin ZA2 Energy (275/70/22.5) is $580/tire + tax = $3932 for 6. I could buy them in the US but have to worry about Customs declaration when I come back. I can only declare $700 max and likely will pay duty on the rest.

X3 on FMCA and Michelins.

I'll come right out and say that I know nothing about Bridgestone or Goodyear RV tires. I have had the Michelins (255/80 22.5's) on my Journey and I am in the process of replacing them as they are now over 5 years old. I have had very good luck with them and will replace with the same tire. I notice from your callsign that you live in the midwest. So do I (middle western Indiana). I am going through Big O tires in my hometown and am buying 6 tires. Installed, I am paying $2200.00. I negotiated this price with them and am quite happy with the deal. If you have a Big O dealership near you, you might want to check it out and stick with the Michelins. Of note, Michelin only manufactures certain tires at different times of the year. I am waiting till the first week of June as I will be able to get newly manufactured tires and will not have to accept new tires which have been sitting around in a warehouse for several months or years. Either way, good luck with your selection. :)

While I can't speak to the Bridgestone, everything I've heard has been positive. I can say that Hankook would be a excellent choice also. Let the best price win.

The Bridgestones price I got quoted for all 6 out the door came to $2750 which I thought was a good price. Anyone ever used these?

We've had Bridgestone tires on our gas coach for the past 17 years with zero problems. I highly recommend them, of course ours are 245/70R19.5" size tires.

Good luck with your choice and safe travels..

Replacing my Michelins and was wondering which tire is better the Bridgestone or Goodyear? Michelins are 235/80r 22.5g while the Bridgestone is 245/75r 22.5g. The Goodyear tire is 2415/75r 22.5g. Everything pretty much matches up and was wondering which is the better tire over all. I can get both for less than the Michelins and can get both right now that are less than 3 months old.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

PeoriaKen, if you are a member of FMCA, they have a Michelin program for buying Michelin tires. I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago and will get them next week (8). I will be charged for mounting and stems at the service center as that's that their website says. FMCA will bill me for the tires. I have 295/80R/22.5.

He is looking for 22.5 wheels. 19.5 are to small.
i just replaced my Michlin 245x80x22.5 all 6 on the MH for $2800, including balance,tax,installed orginal tires cracked in 5 years. New ones were dated 3 months ago, somthing good to check.
