- Debbie, it might be in your best interest to join FMCA and buy your tires directly thru Michelin Tire Company. FMCA has a Michelin Fleet Tire Program where you buy the tires thru Michelin Tire at a reduced rate lower than Tire Shops. That rate would be cheaper than what you quoted us on RV.Net! Good Luck in whatever you decide to buy!
Ms. Debbie,
Off the top of my head that seems like a decent price, certainly doesn't seem out of line. You are replacing them all, right?
If you are a member of FMCA (Family Motor Coach Assc.), you can go through their Michelin program and get tires at a good price. I went through the program with our previous coach replacing all eight tires.
Safe travels,
MM.- We participated in the Michelin tire program. Very pleased with the savings. I think of it as paying for 5 and getting 6 tires. That is not how it is but the savings are very good. Contact FMCA member services to inquire about FMCA Michelin Advantage Program. FMCA tel. 800.543.3622 FMCA membership department.

To expand on this good advice:
One one sidewall of each tire is the complete DOT number. The last 4 digits indicate the WEEK and YEAR of production. So 1016 was produced the 10th week of 2016.
Since you will be replacing tires based on age, not tread wear, I would not accept a tire more than 3 months old.- Amazon carries truck tires and if you're trying to save money, and have a Prime membership (free 5 day shipping for tires), the tire size that's a direct replacement for the Michelin's is 255/70R22.5. Amazon carries some that are around $200 per tire and the average shop charges $40-$50 per tire installation, balanced and mounted. Love's truck tire shops is one typical place to have them mounted.
- Pictures say a thousand words. Date code will look like this 11th week of 2012
- To expand on Mikes post a little, it's this code you're looking for;
- Agree with you, 11 years is pushing it on a coach. :) I "think" it sounds like an okay price. Have you tried tirerack.com or discount tire?
- Be certain to get the proper load rated tires for the weight of your RV not just the correct size................
