Discount Tire is replacing them with XPS Rib since LTX is on backorder. so that's a good thing...Better tire.
I don't know about the XPS being "better". However, it is a "different" tire than the new LTX M&S2.
The main purpose of the XPS Rib's steel is for more sidewall puncture and scuffing resistance on delivery vehicles that may rub against curbs a lot. For RV use, the steel in the XPS Rib's sidewalls probably will make for a rougher ride, and ... perhaps a more important negative ... the XPS has a rather smooth highway tread design.
"M&S" of course means "Mud & Snow", which IMHO is a better all around tread design for general RV use.
What I REALLY WISH was available as a super-rugged tire for Class C motorhome use is a quality Load Range G M&S tire in the 225/75/R16 or 215/85/R16 size and type. I'd use these with my stock rims at only Load Range E pressures, but travel much more at ease due to the extra plies in the Load Range G tires.

Everyone ,
I got the exhaust fixed from the blowout $124.00 , the gas line fixed $364.00.
Michelin wants two estimates on the body dammage. One estimate was $4500.00 from a company I had a bad feeling about the second was $3400.00 from a company I trust. Also I know his wife she works at our bank. Plus he just remodeled one of Tony Stewart's motor coaches. I trust he would do the work right.
The found rubber across the back two storage bin boxes with 3 cracks where the tire remains hit. Dented my water and hot water tanks but it doesn't seem cracked. That goes along with the cracked fiberglass and destroyed fender trim.
Sending FedEx Michelin the estimates, receipts and paperwork tomorrow.
Put it in Michelin's hands and see what happens.
I could take a weekend getaway with it now. I am worried about it raining and getting moisture in the cracks.
Tireman9,
Your pics came through finally on my computer. The tire looks like the second pic the under inflated blown tire. The perplexing thing is the tire was check before I left. I understand that's what the recalled tires were doing separating the tread.

Is there a process for checking to see if my tires are under this recall?
Camper World installed 6 new Mich. LTX MS2's on my Navion last year May 2013. I now have 7000 miles on them. They sat for 7 months through the winter.
I will be leaving on several trips this spring/summer and then on a 8000 mile trip in September 2014. I want to make sure I have safe tires.
M/S tires were recalled.
M/S2 tires are the new & improved model so the speak.
So, if you have M/S2 tires - emphasis on the 2 at the end - you are fine.
