This subject gets beaten to death. You won't go wrong getting the E rated Michelins.
Just my opinion and experience.

I won't buy michelins and I won't buy BFG's after my experience with them . I looked on the internet for problems with Firestone transports and found no complaints against them , so that is the tire I am currently using . I bought the coach 4 years and 38000 miles ago . The Firestones were installed at 30,000 miles and were the third set of tires installed on the coach . You can probably guess the previous two brands .

I highly recommend the Firestone Transforce HT tires. I am on my 3rd set and never had a tire issue or failure. And they are significantly less expensive than the Michelin LTX tire that seems to suffer premature sidewall cracking problems.

I'll second Bill Hemme's suggestion. My Michelin Transforce tires have 92,000 miles on them with plenty of tread left.

Stay tuned to the air pressures in the duals especially. Not bad to have a pressure monitoring system, but otherwise look at the rear duals at every stop to check for a partially deflated appearance and hot temperature.

Karl's,

I assume you meant Firestone Transforce tires and not Michelin Transforce tires!
