If you're going to buy Michelin, consider using the FMCA buying program. You basically buy the tires from Michelin thru FMCA paying a reduced price. You then pay the Michelin Tire Distributor to install, balance,etc them. So work out all prices. I saved over $500 last year when I had 22.5" tires on installed on our Class A. Not every tire store can get the direct shipment from Michelin--so you gotta check if one is close to you. hop over to FMCA.com and read about it.
Personally I would install Michelin. The Ford E450 comes with LTX MS2 LT225/75R-16 LRE. Why they install a Light Truck tire on the E450 is beyond me. That's what I have on my 3500lb Ranger! If you want a slightly heavier duty tire--Michelin has one with steel sidewalls vs the stock tire
