Tires - Whats a good brand to buy?

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for your input.I have a 24' Class C MH on a Ford E-450 chassis.I want to purchase 6 new tires before our road trip in June.I currently have Good Year Wrangler A/T LT225/75R16 on the front and Falken High Country A/T LT225/75R16 on the rear.I have All Terrain tires on it now,because we had major tire problems with the Hercules tires that where on it during our road trip in 2011.The All Terrain tires where all that was available at our time of need.The MH actually rides quite smooth with these tires and considering how rough some roads/highways are,they have stood up quite well,Just wondering if I should stick with All Terrain tires or go with a good quality highway tire.

Any help to this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Class C

    I went with Michelin's a two years ago. I had done a lot of research and did not find a good tire test for RV that pitted several of the better known tires against one another.

    I am glad I got the Michelin's because when they found a problem they recalled a bunch of tires and I got new set after 10k miles. If you search the forum(s) you'll find people using mostly Goodyear and Michelin and then to a lesser degree other brands. To me the big advantage of going with a popular, but more expensive tire is for the people that travel longer distances. With Michelin or Goodyear should a tire go bad while on a trip, you are more likely to find a store that can replace a bad tire so all the tires on a given axel are the same.

    All my MH's came with Michilin tires. I just installed 6 Firestone tires on this MH.
    Little cheaper than the Michilin.

    Never had good luck with Gooyear.
