315/80 vs 12R - was Overweight

[Steve Pfiffner]

 I know from experience that Michelins are great tires. However in my long career owning and operating medium and heavy duty trucks I found Yokohama truck tires were the price/performance champs. One more opinion!

Talking tires is like talking politics. Every one has an opinion. I dont think an RV'r would install Michelins for read wear. AS you stated we will never wear them out. I just installed 6 Michelin XZE's on our 88FC35. I went for Michelin because they are the best. Better handling for one. You have to be very carefull when buying truck tires for an RV. Some are steer axle only. Some are drive axle only. I look at what the buses in Mexico run and it is Michelin by a long shot. There are cheaper options and I happen to think there is a reason why they spend the extra money. It is one thing to buy a cheap battery. If it fails  you get another. Tires are the only thing between you and the road. If it fails..................!
