Tire update and possible solution

Question

Greetings-I reported some time ago that Michelin had announced a 1.2 million tire recall, and that my tires (all 7) had indeed been recalled.Due to a shortage of Michelin LTX 227/75 R16 tires, I am being offered B.F. Goodrich Commercial T/A All Season tires.Does this sound like a good option to you?Any and all opinions gratefully accepted.TIAMarcus (and "Sagan", his 14 year old wonder-dog)

Sorry-2011 Forest River 29' Class C, 11K lbs. empty.

Perfectly good option.  The BFG Commercial TA had a recall a couple of years ago, but all is well with them now.

I just bought the Goodyear Wrangler Adventure AT...so far it is quite the tire. Experience is non towing so far, but in NH winter weather it has been a dramatic improvement over the OEM tires. Also very quiet on dry pavement.

They can keep the TA's for my money, six blowouts in two years! Two with the trailer and four on the truck. Michelin/ Goodrich wouldn't do anything about the resulting body damage either.

You might want to at least look into the Michelin Rib ('XPS', I think). All-steel, heavy, more cost. 2nd hand from various forums, less traction on slippery surfaces, but a heck of a durable tire, and reportedly cures some of the handling ills of the Ford E-series.

You'd probably be charged the price difference for the upgrade.
