I'll bet that most people on this forum would chose Michelin tires IF someone else was paying for them. :B
Honestly, Michelins would be my last choice, on anything.
I just replaced the Michelins on my Super Duty, 60,000 mile rated tire, wouldn't pass NYS inspection at 28,000 miles. That was my 3rd Super Duty with those tires, the best set made it just over 30,000 miles.
Well, as stated earlier, I'm sporting brand new Yokahamas in place of the cracked Michelins I had that were only 6.5 years old and 40K miles on them. Not only that but, that coach is parked INSIDE an RV garage for its entire life that we're not out using it. So, it's (and the tires) have had the best of care ever since we purchased it just over 6 years ago.
The Michelins that were on it, were proprietary in size. 255 x 80R x 22.5". I searched quite a bit trying to find other makes in that size. Pretty darn tough to find. So, I upped the size a tiny bit to 265 x 75 x 22." and paid a whole heck of a lot less for the Yokahamas. Very happy with the results.
