Michelin XRV Tires Where are they?

If I can't find any of these XRV tires, does anyone know a comparable tire to use??

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.

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

Maybe they quit making them after all the cracking issues...

What cracking issues?

I had Michelin xrv on for 8 years not one crack replace them last year because of age most rvers don't take care of there tires that is the problem not the tire.

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.

Have had the Michelin XRV's on my last two motorhomes. First set was 5 years old when I sold the RV and were in good shape. My second RV I bought in 2011. It is a 2005 and had original Michelin XRV 235-80R 22.5's and lasted another year before I replaced them due to normal sidewall cracking after they were 9 years old!

Have heard positive reviews on Toyos and Hankooks, but will stick with Michelins.

Sidewall cracking is normal in RV tires as they do sit for long periods of time and are exposed to the sun, especially if you live in sunny territory. (I live in So Cal!)

FMCA has a program with Michelin and national tire retailers where you save hundreds of dollars and have nationwide service, if you need it.

Happy Trails! ;)

Kayteg1 is correct. About ten years ago Michelin XRV's were blowing up left and right. Zipper blow outs. It got so bad that every trip I took I was constantly thinking of those darn tires. Then right at 61 months from the date stamped on the tire I noticed all kinds of side wall cracks. So since I was traveling through Albuquerque I stopped at a Michelin dealer to check the tires. They got out a little gauge and checked them and said they would be just fine, the cracks were not big enough. So I drove to Las Vegas, Nev. and changed them out anyways with Toyo tires. I called Michelin about any warranty and they said it was one month past due. No more warranty.

I am on my second set of Toyo tires and am very happy with them.
