    I'm thinking the same thing. I paid $500 on the side on the interstate for a Goodyear 245/70R 19.5 three years ago. Looks like prices have increased a bit.

  • FMCA has a Michelin Tire Discount Program where you can buy Michelin Tires much cheaper.
  • Thanks for the responses so far. I'm actually at Ft. Wilderness (Disney) don't want to move the MH so I'm using mobile services he has goodyears for 600 the michelins are 532 and he suggested Dunlop non RV for 432
  • Michelin XRV's can be had for $435 all in from Simple Tire add $40.00 for mounting it should be about $475.00 per tire for Michelin's. I did not even shop hard so you probably can do better.
  • Each manufacturer has good and bad series of tires, so you have to read the review on actual model you are considering.
    I had Hancock in 19.5 size on my pickup and at 100k they still had good tread, but aged.
    How do you use your motorhome? Are you planning to make 100k miles in next 6-8 years?
    Having short time to decide, I replaced Hancock with $150 Sailung (?) and still got over 60k from them
  • Per tire? 19.5s? Yikes. I'm getting 22.5 toyos for about $370 a piece. They seem to be well reviewed.

    With the money I saved compared to Michilens, I ordered a tire pressure monitor system and still have extra to spare.
