FE we all read about G614's failing. However we have not read about a RIB or R250 failing in trailer service, so please post a link to issues with either! Or get over it, once and for all. Or maybe try a set yourself! It is really time for you to put up or ........... Chris
They don’t have a documented track record. Who would dare post a failure in this forum after bragging how well they worked for awhile. Go to Michelin’s truck tire maintenance manual. They have pictures of failed steel cased tires.

YIKES!!
Pot calling the kettle black!.:S
Speaking of posting "failures" . . . . and bragging how well they work -
compliments are due to *you* FE, as *you* have posted your personal failures of 21 ST tires, as well as the statement on your blog,
"Right after I started hauling a big heavy fifth wheel trailer around the country, the tires started failing."
Impossible to match - even with 40 years of towing trailers!
Of course some of us are deviates!.:W
We "deviated" from the ST path of righteousness!
If you are going to chalk those "failures" off to road hazards of various kinds - (as we all know you meticulously maintain tire pressure) - besides a tire expert - you are most definitely *THE* EXPERT at finding the worst roads (with the most road hazards) in the USA!
Kind of like Joe Btfsplk (from Li'l Abner) with the black cloud following him around hanging over his head.
You should be the title holder in the Guinness Book of records!
Cheers!.:B
BTW Francesca: -
Michelin *does* recommend XPS Ribs (LT tires) for trailer use.
