Tire Shopping
If you feel Michelins are unacceptable, use Toyos. I have a set of 16 ply
Kumhos on my truck and they ride and handle fine, but they might be a little
harsh on a bird. I think Toyo has the closest match to Michelin as far as tread
and side wall. I do mount my own tires. I wouldn't go with Kelly or BFG,
didn't like the look side by side with others.

Well, I am still investigating possible tire replacement brands. I
read many of the previous archive postings on the ongoing tire
debate. Many have a strong opinion about there favorite tire
manufacturer, especially the loyal Michelin followers. There were
also other brands mentioned such as: Kelly, Goodyear, BF Goodrich,
Toyo, a Les Schwab tire called Double Coin, Bridgestone etc.

The 12R 22.5 load range H Michelin tires are about $500.00 each,
installed and out the door.
They carry a seven year / 700,000 mile manufacturer defect warranty.

We presently are quite happy with our Firestone T575 tire. This tire
is obsolete and no longer manufactured, the replacement Firestone is
FS560 or Bridgestone R250

Our questions are:
Does anyone have experience with the Firestone FS560?? ( In the 12R
22.5 LRH size)
Why should an RV owner help subsidize a seven year / 700,000
warranty??
Which brand are you happy with ??

Maybe this should be a poll?

Any inputs are appreciated,
