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.
