need new tires

[hikerman]

Have an '08' Monaco 35ft Cayman and the tires are dated '07'.
In the market for Michelin or Toyo. Read good things about Toyo m154, but in my size 255-70R.22.5, it is replaced by Toyo M120.
Do you have experience with either the Michelin XZE or Toyo M122?
Thanks

I'm a Toyo's fan and ran the M120's on my Sahara DP for 8yrs with no issues other than they aged out. I was not able to locate replacement Toyo when it came time to change them out and that had something to do with a state wide availability and back orders at that time so I wound up replacing them with Hankook's. I would still prefer the Toyo's based on my previous experience and Michelin's would not be on my shopping list based on the difference in price as well as the negative experiences some of my friends and acquaintances have had with them. (I have no personal experience with Michelin) JWIWD

I put Toyo's on my Beaver DP 4 years ago and have had no issues. Great ride and dependable.

I put the Toyo's on last year and have driven many miles since. They are outstanding in my opinion compared to the others.

My rears are Toyo M120Z 255/70-22.5 dated 2007. Still look good with no sidewall cracking. Great tire! Would buy Toyos before Goodyear or Michelin.

I just ordered Toyos in size of 265/75r-22.5/14M154 which replaces Michelin size 255/80x22.5XZE. The Toyos were $1500 cheaper than the Michelins.

I did this and saved a lot of money then going to a regular tire shop (Plus I did not have to pay for tire shipping). I run Michelin XRV's on my RV but, have run Michelin XZE on my Peterbuilt before I retired. I liked and had good luck with both sets tires. The difference between these tires are the XRV's are made from a softer rubber to fit RV applications (RV's sit a lot therefore softer rubber sidewalls and tread enhance tire wear) The XRV's also have a UV ray material to ****** the Sun and sidewall cracking. The XZE is a hard rubber truck tire. I ran a loaner truck with Toyo tires (when my Peterbuilt was in for service) and liked them, there also a hard rubber truck tire. Michelin and Goodyear are the only two tire manufactures that build soft rubber tires for RV applications. All other tires are hard rubber truck tires (FYI). Good Luck with whatever you buy.

Just want you to know ****** was not a swear word! The word I used starts with a R and ends with a D.
