Where the best place to buy tires for my MH

If a tire shop doesn't understand that an RV is fully loaded pretty much 24/7, that tires age out before they wear out, that you don't want rubber valves, etc. and so forth, find another shop.
I learned that many shops have access to the same warehouses, which stock many brands.
Also, it seems that many shops will offer to match online pricing, or come so close that the convenience is worth a slight difference.
A shop that wants to help you will call the warehouse in advance of your order and find out what the date codes are.
From reading here, it appears the FMCA program is quite helpful on the big sizes like 22.5" and not so much on the 16" most Class C's use.

Double ditto. Michelin's have proven to be reliable for us.

before I bought my michilins I told the dealer the tires could not be over six months old.that I.d check the dates BEFORE I PAID THE BILL. and I did. they can order what you want. had no problems.

I have found it takes a real tire company to have any clue what you really need. Locally owned and long time in business shops seem to have most knowledgeable people.

Be sure they don't put 2 year old tires on your MH. Lots of chain places just want to put tires on your MH. They don't seem to care about the fact that MH tires age out before they wear out, so you need newest tire possible.

Bridgestone Duravis R250's, Discount Tire. Those are a Highway/Rib tire. Duravis line includes all weather tires, but the construction is different from R250.

Michelin's .... Discount Tire

We have 22.5's on our rig. We bought B F Goodrich ST230's at the recommendation of a tire guy in Denton TX. We have been very happy with them after 5 years and lots of miles. We will replace them next year with the same tire. B F Goodrich is owned by Michelin and the tires are made in South Carolina. Briggs Tire in Washington PA carries B F Goodrich and do commercial truck tires so they should be able to handle it.

Just an interesting add-on. Name Brand tires from Sams Club, Walmart, Cosco, and other Name stores are NOT the same as name brand tires from a tire dealer! They are made and branded for the individual company. Especially if you but a Michelin or Goodyear from Sams club or Walmart. If you have a tire damaged or fail, you can only get a matching tire (tread) from the same place you got them. Look at the tire model names, then go to the tire web pages, and you will not find that tire model listed. Not saying that there is anything wrong with the tires or their quality, just passing on the information for your use as you see fit.

I just recently put tires on my truck. The first thing you need to do is find out what you want- WAY too many variables. For instance there were 6 different Michelin LTX's in my size. I found the best place for that is the manufacturers website. Once you know take the product code and shop it. Tirebuyer.com provided me with the best price and shipped to my door in 1 day! They will also ship to the installer and most have a network of cooperating installers.
