Michelin XRV Tires Where are they?

[mustard]

I'm trying to locate 6 255/80R22.5 XRV tires. Michelin dealers say they are on nation wide back order. Michelin themselves say they don't have a production date to create any.

Anyone know where some are hidden??????

XRV had bad reputation over a decade ago when they would not last in constant overloading, so common in RV.
Owners reported the tires blowing in the garage on motorhome that wasn't moved for days.
Its been years when I was buying tires in 22.5 size, but my conversion was using the same size semitrucks do.
I could find used tires, about 1 year old with 20% of tread for $100.

Put something else on and be happy like me.
And for a lot less cost.

Toyo tires are better and safer then the XRV Michelins. Toyo's would be 265x75 on 22.5 M-154 16PR.

I have had both the original were XRV's and now Toyo's. Toyo tires balanced with Equal bags gives you a very smooth ride and the tire tread wears even.
