Any feedback on Rovello Roadx tires for 2006 Winnebego Voyage 31. I got a price of $2200 Cdn for 6 tires. We don't do a lot of miles. Thx

A quick Google search, showed made in China. We all know the opinions here about tires made there. I don't know what size tires that you have, but I was quoted $1800 for 6 Michelin's 225/70 R 16s. Also is the $2200 an out the door (all inclusive) price. My 1800 was before installation/balancing, taxes and disposal fees. For me, it would have been closed to $2300 out the door for 16inch Michelin's.Ken

Take this for just my out look...I know that tires are to be replaced when they are 6 to 7 years old...but if my tires don't show any sign of wear or cracking I will only replaced the front tires at that time...the rear tires are dual's & if one of them blows out I still have the other one to get to a safe stop...but if a front tire blows out you maybe headed for the ditch...reason for my way of thinking is 48 years of being a truck driver with no wrecks...and I am not selling tires for a living...

^^^ The problem with that is the damage that dual does when it blows. Want to ask me how I know? :B

As a former truck driver also I’ll change out my fronts and keep the rears on longer with an eye on them. Yes Any blown tire on a Fiberglass motorhome will probably cause damage. Other than the repair downtime I’m less concerned as my insurance ,less 500 bucks , will cover all of that.

Camping @ fairgrounds & a Class A gasser pulls in, sporting damage from a recent drive tire failure. In addition to removing all the wheelwell skirting, the explosion had blown through the adjoining storage bay, tearing off the floor panel & the door. The generator was temporarily secured w/ratchet straps.
