Michelin LTX M/S Replacement

[Larry_Sanders]

It seems I picked a wrong time to replace The Michelin LTX M/S Tires.
Since they are the original 08 Tires that fall before the recall.
So far I have found Dunlap Rover's and BF Goodrich Commercial T/A.
Anyone have experience with either of these Tire Choices, also any other Tires I should be looking at.

Thanks!

We are down in SW Florida for another month and would like to get the recalled tires replaced before heading back to Minnesota but no one around here has any Michelin recall replacements. They are trying to get me to go with a BF commercial or a Uniroyal 80288. Anyone familiar with those tires? I know Michelin owns both of those but I don't want to get stuck with inferior tires just because the MS2 or the XPS Rib are out of stock. These are for our class "C" not the class "A".

Have your sidewalls actually cracked or do they look OK?
Unless they are cracked I would use them until the new ones came in. Just don't overload them and maintain the proper pressure for the weight. Michelin reported 200 failures out of 150,000,000 tires. Thats like less than .000001% I doubt any other brands are any better. Of course Michelin would say don't use them just to protect their backside.

I've ordered mine to replace my four year old set but I will not to worry and not use them until the new ones come in. After all, they've been fine for four years, I don't think a few weeks will make any difference.

Michelin's are on back order because of the recall.
I'm going on a trip at the end of next week and would like to replace the Tires before I leave because of the sidewall cracking.

I just had mine replaced. They replaced them with B.F. Goodrich, which the tire store said are also made by Michelin

It's good you are looking at different tires. I bought my Michelins 3 years ago. Last year I noticed cracking on the side wall, so I went back to Costco. They said it wasn't bad enough yet. The tire DOT date is (0911), 9th week of 2011. This year it has gotten to the point I don't feel they are safe. I have been told by Michelin that tire cracking is not covered by warranty. It needs to separate or rapid deflate, (blowout) to be covered. My tire size is 2 sizes larger than the recall tires, so I don't qualify under recall. I will be trying Cooper tires from America tire store. No more Michelins for me.

Why change brands after years...seems like the Michelin's served you well...I have the Michelin LTX AT/2 on everything I own, that it fits. Best tire I have ever used.
