Tires need to be replaced again on my 2006 30' Class C. I went to a Michelin tire dealer and got quotes for both LTX M/S 2 and XPS RIB. Not sure which way to go given the almost $600 price differen...

Firestone Transforce HT are under $150 at tirerack. Good tires, have not had nor heard of any issues.
The full story is that I had a rear tire blowout two weeks ago. It was one of my 7 yr old RIBS. The Good Sam Roadside Assistance service man who changed the tire to my 11 year old never used OEM LT M/S spare said I should expect more problems if I did not replace all the tires. He did suggest the Firestone Transforce HT as a great option for price and quality. To be safe, the next day (I was only 30 min away at my final destination), I took the RV into his shop to put my 11 yr old spare back under the RV and replace the blown RIB with the transforce. My thought was to at least have one new tire to finish my trip and not worry about the 11 yr old spare becoming another problem.
So to replace them all I was thinking I would put the new Transforce in place as my new spare and buy 6 new Michelins. Couldn't decide if I should continue with new XPS Ribs or LTX M/S. But now having second thoughts. Maybe the Transforce HT will be as good for me as the Michelins?
I'm at the age where great tread wear is not an issue, but safety is.
Still trying to figure it all out.
