I live in northern VA not to far from Washington DC. When I purchased my RV four years ago the tires were near the end of the life based on years not miles according to the date codes on the tires. I opted to install Michelin tires.
I purchased them from Albin Tire, a local dealership. Almost a year later the Michelin had a recall on the tires and were replacing them with a newer version (M&S2). I called Albin when I first heard, they checked my purchase (I had the receipt and registered with Michelin). I was able to get a tire replacement done early in the recall while others had to wait. Albin main business is with trucks and busses. They will also do the Virginia annual safety inspection.
I am very happy with the new Michelin tires and am in a position to compare new Michelin against the new second generation of the same tire. The new tires are not showing the problems (three years old now) the earlier tires were known for. They also ride better (again comparing new - 10months -vs new; not old tire vs new tire).
If you do need new tires, now would be a good time to install the extra long valve stems from Borg or the TireMan.
