michelin tires

I can't find any Michelin XZA2 around here, so my tire sale guy said that I would do fine with the XZE2+. My tires are 275/70/22.5 on a 34 foot Newmar. It is a regional tire but I thing they could do well on the rear of the RV. What do you thing about it?

See you on the road

So went ahead and put the XZE2+ tires on. Just curious how much would they cost in the States? I paid $580 plus change for them.

Michelin XZ2A's are rated J - which is a stiffer sidewall than you probably need with only a 34' coach and will result in a harsher ride.
Normally, even up to 40'ers you mostly see H rated sidewalls, not J's.
If it were me I wouldn't put those truck tires on mine.
As they say -- YMMV
Good luck

I had a similar problem finding XRV's for mine. Dealer said that they were on a 6 week back order. I was fortunate to find a dealer that was willing to search for them for me. Found 6 that were dated 1513 and 1613, so acceptably fresh for me. Great service from our dealer who went above and beyond finding tires for us. If any of you are in the area it was Meekof Tire in Mattawan, Michigan.

Just bought 4 XZA2's, same size. Several dealers said they were scarce. One dealer said he would have some on "delivery day" and to call him an hour after the truck arrived. I did he told me they arrived but he already sold them. One of the hazards or going through the FMCA / Michelin RV tire program. Guess a dealer makes more if he sell's them vice Michelin. Finally found a dealer with multiple location's and he had some sent in from across the state.

The only deference in the two is thread depth and a stronger side wall. Looked at them last week at tire dealer when I ordered the XZA2's.
