I like the Michelin XZA2 Energy. One word of advice about trucker opinions: Truckers buy tires to run the tread off of them in a fairly short period of time. Tires on a motor home will "time out" from UV damage and/or age LONG before enough miles can be put on them to need replacing. These are entirely different uses and one shouldn't be confused for the other.
While we keep hearing this, I'm not certain it's substantiated by facts. Toyo for example doesn't make RV specific tires and Bridgestone caters to the RV market with their truck tire lines. Goodyear makes one tire for the RV market but many negative comments have been posted.
Could be wrong but that's how I interpret the matter.
I'm not touting marketing claims. What I am stating is truckers run them continuously (before UV damage and/or time can be a factor) and motorhomers will time out before the miles that truckers achieve will be realized. Two different uses, entirely. That point is irrefutable. Just because a trucker likes a particular tire does not mean a motorhomer will reap that same value.
Truckers run them...wear them out...then cap them...then wear them out...then cap them AGAIN, wear them out again, then cap them one more time!
Note for the OP: a 295/75R22.5 is the same size as your 275/80's.
