Michelin is not a good bargain.

Wander around the parking lot at a big truck stop looking at the steer tires on those big rigs. Think you will find that the preferred choice of most truckers is Michelin. I don't like riding on Bargains! Just how many square inches of rubber does your motorhome ride on??? I want those square inches to be of top quality rubber from a top quality tire manufacturer. Not saying it has to be Michelin, but they are in the running with a preferred quality tire. Bargains have nothing to do with it.

I just walked around. I only looked at steer axles. Mich and GY were the minority. Toyo and Yokohama were very popular, and Hankook seemed to be on most. I found that those with Mich didn't buy them, the Company did. I asked owner/operators and they will tell you Mich and GY are overpriced and look at other brands.
