I recently blew out a michelin outside rear dually tire on our Cambria 30J. I have 34k on the 5+ year old tires, no cracks and I keep 80 psi in the tires. I thought about replacing the blown tire with my brand new spare but the tread life in the rear tires is 1/2 that of the spare. I will probably replace all 4 rear tires and an thinking about using E rates Hankook tires. I have weighed the rv rear and it almost is at max weight even when carrying minimal stuff and nearly empty tanks. Makes me a little concerned that the tires may be overloaded. Any thoughts about Hankook tires (they are about $80/tire cheaper than the michelins), using the spare to replace the blown tire or rear end weight concerns? Looks like there was a Michelin recall but my tires were manufactured in Aug 2013, after the recall. Thanks ahead of time for your help

I had Hankooks on my previous class b rv. They were fine until they started coming apart at about 35,000 miles one at a time. I won't go into the details of trying to get warranty coverage on them first from Ford because it was a size specific to E350 Fords and then from Hankook. Suffice it to say that I had a few very harsh 4 lettered words for both Ford and Hankook headquarters in Southern California. I'm still bitter as he..! Never again and I vowed to tell anyone who might be interested in Hankrook Tires. I had a 2005 PleasureWay rv so there is a site for PleasureWay owners. It's too bad you can't access it because it's for PW owners only. There is an endless stream of complaints of Hankook tire failures to a point where the PW manufacturers were drawn in. Bottom line was all Ford E series vans came with Hankrook tires from the factory brand new. In conclusion, Hankrook tires are okay until they aren't and then you're stuck with what to do when only one tire has failed and the others appear still good. I eventually went with Michelin XPS and never looked again at any other tire period.

I've always had good service from Hankook tires, no problems.

I would only look at tires made in the USA. Hankook tires are often made in Korea. Check before buying.

Now, some Hankooks are outsourced to Chine, and I have no information on their quality. I just make certain where the Hankooks I purchase, where from Korea!

Two things in life I don't worry about the price, first is footwear and second is tires. Date codes are important, learn how to read them and understand them. Save money on something else. Buy the best tires you can afford. :C
