More on Fmca tires - STBRetiredExplorerI got my Michelins through the FMCA program. Got them through a commercial truck tire center nearby. Owner was surprised at the price, said it was only a couple dollars above his cost. Paid him for the mount, balance, and disposal of old tires. I was happy, he was happy. Pretty good deal. Took a couple days for Michelin to process the paperwork. That was only annoyance.
- imgoin4itExplorerHave done it several times. Works great, just register your credit card with Michelin go to a cooperating national truck tire dealer and make an appointment for him to get tires and schedule installation. Pay dealer for mount and balance. I’ve done it a several places and it was always easy and without a “hitch”
- PastorCharlieExplorerWhat imgoin4it posted. The manager of a commercial truck tire service recommended that I go through my FMCA program and he did the labor. I paid Michelin for tires and the service center for labor. The service center gave me $100.00 per tire for the old 6 tires they removed and said they would sell them to local farmers for farm use. Saved several hundred dollars.
FMCA is the way to go. Find a local participating dealer that you can trust. - pigfarmerExplorerPastorCharlie, You REALLY got a good deal on both ends. We talked to a tire service in Great Falls, Montana and got his price through FMCA. This summer when we get to Montana we will do the deal. We'll save another couple of hundred dollars with no sales tax. Florida is 8.5%. We were planning on going back to Montana anyhow so this way it will be win-win.Thanks for your information. It sounds like everyone is very pleased with their experience.
- w4phjExplorerWell pleased with my FMCA Michelin tire purchasing experience.
Sold old tires on Craigslist for $600.00 as dealer didn't want them. - Jarvis1ExplorerPigFarmer
Can you give me the name of the Shop in Great Falls?
Will be passing thru there at end of March
Thanks
Colin - wa8yxmExplorer IIIMakes no difference if it's diesel or gas.> Mine is a gasser. 22.5" mitchlin XRV's were factory.. I priced them through FMCA at I think 3500 for six plus install (I got them cheaper straight up here in SC but that's another story. I may have gotten a deal as the tire man owed me big time from another job I got him on a dead semi.. long story).
I went with TOYO's they are less than 1% difference in outside diamater (So the speedometer is still close to accurate. less than one mpg off at 100 MPH and this house won't go that fast,,, not even down hill with a tail wind... tested (ok so I did not touch the accelerator peal but it peaked at 82mph)
2230 for six of 'em as I recall.. Straight up (Last October). only dropped the Motor home one time while installing them (No damage save to their parking lot.. kind of funny story). - pigfarmerExplorerJarvis1 Whalens
- Executive45Explorer IIIDirections are on FMCA's website. Follow them exactly. Easy to do. Call, give them a credit card for the tires. (You can see prices on their website) Schedule an install with a local tire place that subscribes to their program. You'll have to pay the dealer directly for mounting and balancing. FMCA will bill you for the tires after installation. I swapped with the dealer for the old tires. He did the mounting and balancing, and I gave him my old tires. Worked for both of us as I didn't have to mess with Craigslist. The only caveat is to make sure you tell the tire shop you want fresh tires. I ordered Michelins and they were one month old tires..FMCA also sponsors Bridgestones and Continentals......Dennis
