Michelin 12R 22.5 XZ2 Tires

[Pete Masterson]

It's generally recommended that like tires be mounted on the steer axle. If the second tire is still OK, you can mount in on the tag axle* or hold it as a spare. If the tire is still safe to use (date wise), you may be able to sell it as a used tire. Often a trucker can make good use of used bus tires. You won't get a lot for it, but the $100 or $150 is sure better than nothing.

*if you have one.

I have a badly weather-checked left front tire. Tire dealers tell me that Michelin has discontinued 12R 22.5 XZ2 tires. I was hoping to just replace the one bad tire; but if I buy anothere brand, presumably I'd have to replace at both front tires.

Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what's the alternative?
