Executive...please stop passing on erroneous info. When referencing tire compounds your'e a bit out of your element. ....those whom don't know love to pass along these types of things. Elements of tire compounding are virtually the same for all highway use tires...including passenger and large truck. And RVs. Your RV tire, probably a 22.5, is built and compounded the same as the rest including truck. Even the same type bead as the larger 24.5s.

OK, fair enough..I said I wasn't an engineer. And, thinking maybe my memory wasn't as sharp as I thought it was, I went back and did my research....guess what...:h...I was CORRECT....:S

From Goodyear's website:

"...The Goodyear Unisteel® G670 RV® has technology that helps guard against the effects of ozone and UV rays.

Anti-oxidant and anti-ozonant compounds throughout the tire help protect against weather cracking. In fact, the G670 RV is so effective, it’s backed by a 4-Year Limited Warranty.*" (color emphasis added)

But, thanks for allowing me the opportunity to go back and refresh my memory......have a nice day....:B:B:B...Dennis

Dennis, I called Michelins factory and was told that they use a totally different compound in the XRV tire than the compound in there other truck tires and if I'm not mistaken it says this on the XRV part of Michelins website. Michelin told me that they do this in the XRV to make a softer tire due to motorhome applications : ie: motorhomes sit more than they move therefore a softer tire is warranted for that application! The XRV also has the UV Protection added into the compound!
