Getting to the point where I need to replace my tires on my Motorhome. Not because of wear because they only have 33k on them but more because they are 8 years old and are starting to show some dry cracks on the sides. Also my steer tires are worn on the outside edges so I'm sure an alignment will be needed also. So right now I have 235/80 22.5 Michelin XRV's but the local tire shop wants over $500 a piece. Ouch.
So what's a good tire out there that will fit that will be a good tire. I know there has to be something out there that's not an RV specific tire that will be just as good. Tell me what your running and what they cost.
Story short, they're all good and all have a US Gov. DOT number on the sidewall. I've had Michelins, GY and now have 4 Hankooks and 4 very reasonably priced Hercules, so as I've said many times before, I've quit paying for a name and have yet to receive any pertinent engineering data from anyone who claims that any one brand is superior to another. I mean, what is the chemistry and method used, to construct a tire, that some classify as junk and still meet DOT standards?
Kinda reminds me of people who will only buy Bayer aspirin to save themselves from a heart attack. Hello people, the ingredients are exactly the same with a generic no name brand and again specified by our Government.
