We will be purchasing a 2010 Winnabago Aspect 30C and wondered what the preferred tire brand is out there.

- We are a Michelin proponent! Worth the money to us!
- I replaced aged out Michelins with Cooper Stampede tires.
Could not be happier.
Ride much better and a fair bit less money! - Before downsizing from Class diesel pusher to class c Coach house, I ran TOYO tires on my diesel pusher. when i bought diesel pusher it had TOYO tires on it so when I had to change tires and put a new set on it I put the TOYO tires back on it. They were good riding and great handling tires especially on uneven roads.
When it comes time to change the tires on my Class c now I will most defiantly check out TOYO's and Michelins. - Tire brands are like bread. Everyone has a favorite.
Every brand has had recalls.
All class E tires have the same load rating per Gov. DOT.
Most RV tires time out - get old before they ware out.
Some love Michelin, while some of us remember the restrictions placed on
our armed forces in Vietnam to protect the Michelin Rubber Plantations,
that the VC used to hide in. So we will not buy them.
Again just a personal thing. - the recall was Jan 2010 to middle of 2012, exact dates are on Michelin website. I got new tires on my 2012 Just bought a Class C
- JD good info re:Alcoa rims. I received a 45th bday gift card, so was thinking about the rims as a gift to me. Nice present. Regarding wheel liners I don't have extenders yet so trying to chuck or air is not easy. Once the extenders come in off to Americas for spare tire recall and install valve kits. Based on your info might wait on the Alcoas, but not long, me likey Shiney new things. Cheers.
- We have been running with Michelin XPS Ribs all around for the past 6 years. Coachmen 28.5 foot Class C on a E450 Chassis. They have about 35,000 miles including two summer long round trips to Alaska. Never have had a single tire issue. Not even a flat. The tread looks like new and to this point in time, there is no evidence of side wall deterioration due to aging or UV. One previous poster is correct, they are not M/S tires. That said, we did boondock a lot in Canada and Alaska on our trips and drove lots of gravel and muddy roads without a traction issue. The only time the MH got stuck was coming out of the storage building this spring when the ground was abonormally soft due to heavy rains. The XPS Rib is a steel core tire with steel belts and rides a bit firmer then the LTX version but we felt the conditions on the back roads of Canada and Alaska warranted the better tire.
Mike - Hankook Tires.
- One observation relating to the Michelin XPS RIB versus the Michelin LTX M/S2: The tread on the XPS is a smooth highway tread. If you want better traction - just in case - for mud, wet, slush, and snow ... go with the M&S2 Michelin.
The M&S2 tires make no highway noise and carry a 70,000 mile warranty.
