Tires on my Coachmen Classic
I bought a Coachmen Classic last week for a trip i go on twice a year thats roughly an hour and 30 minutes from my house. The RV currently has some expensive Michelin XPS i think they are called on it...

From the style of the tire you mention, I'll have to assume you have a 1988-1997 Ford F53 chassis with 235/85R16 tires. The Michelin XPS tire was OEM on that chassis. Due to the very tall side wall, the tire has a tendency to wallow from side to side in a turn. Thus Ford used an all steel ply construction tire. The only other all steel tire like the XPS is a Bridgestone R250. Other brands with different ply materials in the side wall will work but will not feel as solid as the Michelin XPS or Bridgestone R250. Some do not notice the difference and you may be one of those or not. I am very sensitive to the feel of a vehicle and did notice the difference when I tried a set of Coopers, which I returned under Cooper's satisfaction warranty and replaced with Michelin XPS tires.
