Truck tires vs RV tires on a Class A

The only companies that make tires that are specifically marketed as RV tires are Michelin and Goodyear. Both of these companies put extra compounds in their formula to resist UV damage to tires that just sit in the sun a lot. Other than that, I would suspect that truck and RV tires are close to identical.

You are right on the UV's, but Michelin claims there XRV Tire has a much softer rubber compound than there truck tires because RV's do more sitting. You can look it up on Michelins Website if you care too. And this was the main reason when I bought new Michelin tires last month I went with the XRV instead of XZE2+.
