Could 10 year tires really be safe?
Hi all. We have a MH with tires that are original. Manufactured in 2005 (the tires). We have taken it to get new tires now twice at the local truck/tire center and while I'm sure they would have loved...

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. I have read every reply and read many of them out loud to the hubby. He is now convinced that it's simply not worth worrying about (or if there was to be a tire problem when I was driving with just the youngest boy and not him, he would never hear the end of it). So I thank you for that. So, we have Michelin 275/80R22.5 LRH XZAs (I think?) on it now and love the smooth ride. We have the FMCA pricing and may go that route, but have heard good things about Toyas and Hankooks. So, wondering if the Michelin name is worth the extra money and also how much more expensive are they really? Thanks again.

Good call.
For my $$$ Michelin is last on the list; over rated and over priced. I recently posted between our cars, trucks and MHs I can think of at least 8 sets of Michelins we've owned, I'd call 1 set of those quality, others had zero grip under any condition, others didn't make it to 1/2 of thier rated life, the worst one blew out while parked in our garage.
You mentioned Toyo and Hankook, I'd take either one of those over a Michelin every time. We recently replaced our Michelins (the only good set we've ever owned) with Bridgestones, very nice tire, a lot less $$$.
