Tire decision, Michelin, BFG, or Kumho
After 8 years, it's time to replace my 245-70R-19.5 tires. I got these prices from a reputable local store. They are all out the door including balance and new valve stems. Michelin.................

I've run Michelin XZE's on my semi (a new set every year for 44 years, semi only ) and XRV's on my motorhome (2nd set) and the worst problem that I've had is flat tires? I'm saying if zippering is a bad problem with Michelin Tires, I mostly likely have run Michelin Tire more then anyone else on this website?
Let's see sidewall blow out on my Firestones with under 10K miles on my pickup and firestone was no help at all replaced all four with another brand.
Rear tire blowout in rv with Goodyear 670s not fun. Yes they were properly inflated blaaa blaaa blaaa.
Michelin has zipper issues and Goodyear rivering problems. I have 22inch Hankooks on my Suburban with 50k on them and on the rv with 5k with no problems yet.
The way I see it is your paying for advertising.
The zipper issue and the rivering have been discussed on this and other forums many times. Maybe do a search here or google?
