Tag Axle-Pluses and Minuses

Two more tires is not a big deal. I think the advantages out-weigh the extra cost of buying two extra tires every 7 yrs. or so. .
$1200 is not a big deal. Hmmm.... I certainly wouldn't run them out 7 years.
$1,200 is only $171.42 per year cost, then, you can get $50 each for the take-off's. On our previous 2008 Monaco Dynasty, I went through the FMCA program and bought 8 new 295/80R/22.5, out the door, about $6,600 (if I remember correctly). They gave me $400 for the take-off's which were 7.5 yrs. old (date codes ranged from 2006-4206). The tires had 57,000 miles on them.
How far would you run a set of new Michelin's?
Our new coach has Michelin 365's on the front and tag, 315's on the drive axle. My plan is to run them for 7 yrs.
