Tire Replacement on Class A Goodyear or Michelin

Tire replacement on Class A Goodyear or Michelin

I'm told its time to replace the tires on my 2007 38 ft Fleetwood Expedition even though there is only 18000 miles on the Goodyear G670 RV 225/70R22.5 on the rig. I have several questions I am considering changing to Michelin Tires since the out the door price for all 6 is $1000 cheaper than the Goodyear along with the fact a few of my friends say the ride on the Michelins is much smoother. Is the Michelin tire as reliable as the goodyear and will it work on my rig.I have read a couple of other forums where there was concern for the early year Michelins but found nothing very current. I am going to be heading to Yellowstone in June and do not want to take a chance on the old tires for the 40000 mile trip. Thanks for any help.

  • If you are a member of FMCA you will save by using the Michelin Advantage - I saved $103 per tire. If you go with Michelin, and not a member of FMCA - join - annual membership is $50 - buying 6 tires is worth the membership
  • We have Hankook and haven't had any issues and have made several trips with them, even through the mountains.
  • I have not been happy with Goodyears, G670, I am replacing them this week with Bridgestones. Guess I will find out.
  • Many are going with Hankook, Toyo, Bridgestone, Sumotomo, and even Firestone.
  • LOTS of discussion on Goodyear vs Michelin. I had the Goodyear G670 and was very disappointed - many had excellent luck. Suggest looking at the threads.
    My new tires are Michelin purchased through the FMCA program.
