I ordered 6 Michelin 235/80r22.5 XZE tires mid May and finally had them installed July 15. The tires had a date code of 2314 so they are pretty fresh. These are replacements for the aged out XZE tires from 2004 that still had a great appearance and tread. I noticed a much improved ride with the new tires as i believe the old tires were much harder or stiffer due to their age. Many thanks to FMCA for a nice discount!

Ordered 6 Michelin XZE 235/80 22.5 two weeks ago thru the Advantage program and was told that all his Michelin tires were on backorder. Dealer had no idea when the shipment would be sent. Reading thru previous forum postings from years past, this seems to be a common theme at certain times of the year. Maybe related to seasonal production dates?
