As long as we are talking about this. I have had poor expierience with Michelin motorhome tires. My first coach, a Winnebago, came with them and they sidewall cracked after two years. Winnebago and M said sorry no warrantee. My second coach, a Safari, bought used three years old came with cracked sidewall M's. My expierience with M's on cars has been just the opposite, had the same set for six years no cracks. Friends with other varieties of coaches have had similar expierience with Michelin. FWIW.

I had some Michelins on a motor home 10 years ago and a tire went nearly flat. They told me Michelens tires get higher mileage because they are harder. The softer tires get less mileage but have more traction.
When they took the rim off they pointed to the dust from the tire rubbing and told me it was unsafe to reuse. If I had bought softer tires I probably would have been OK because the tend not grind like harder tires.
