The above quote was posted somewhere in this thread. It can not be found in any Michelin publications dated 2010 and later. I read all of them, often.
That's not bashing. It's just getting the playing field even. So correct me if I'm wrong, just post the reference for all to see. I can't post something that I can't find.
ALL LT tires can be used on the RV trailer axles, as long as they conform with the exsisting fitment regulations. I reciently visited a large RV show at Jacksonville, FL. Took lots of pictures and compaired lots of RV trailer tires with the vehicles they were fitted to. The only LT tire found was 16", LRG. At the end of this month I'm going to the RV show here in Greenville, SC. If this thread is still active by then I'll post my findings.

FastEagle, I emailed both Bridgestone and Michelin.
Here is my question and Bridgestone's answer.
Question: "Do you endorse and warranty the Duravis R250 for trailer use? If so what is the warranty period?
Thanks Chris,"
Answer:
"Chris,
Yes, the Duravis R250 is capable of being used on any wheel position, including trailer.
The warranty period is for 5 years or upon wearing down to 2/32nds remaining tread depth, whichever comes first, for workmanship/material.
There is no mileage warranty.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance.

Note: I will post Michelin's reply when I receive it. Chris
We all know that. What's your point?

On edit: I'm not, or never have said those tires can't be used on trailer axles. They are just not marketed for those positions. You ever seen a Passenger tire marketed for use on an RV trailer? It can be used there.
That's really funny! Chris
