    I'm probably the only guy on the forum who has spent considerable time in the Michelin Rubber Plantation in S. VN...lots and lots of trees there.  We (the US government) paid the Vietnamese for every tree we destroyed.  However, I got medivaced in a Huey in Oct 1967.

    Thank You for your service !   My late Father flew Hueys there in '66-'67.

    Bought 8 XZE’s that were 3 weeks old for a 2002 Beaver Marquis. Driveability, ride and wear were excellent in 30,000 miles. Sold coach after 3 years so no experience after that. I would buy Michelin again. Whatever you buy, make sure the date code is as new as you can get. For me, I would not buy any tire that is more than 6-9 months old. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, it does.  I previously had Michelin's on my '78 GMC motorhome (16" and not XZE's) and they rode great.   I will probably give them a shot.  


  3. I am looking for new tires for my 2008 Winnebago Sightseer 26P.   The tire size is 225 70R 19.5.   Not a whole lot of choices in that size from any tire companies.  The XZE's are available in that size and are discounted through the FMCA program.  My hesitation is, when I do a search on that tire, so many older threads talk about the XRV tire, which isn't made in that size any longer.  

    When I read the description of the XZE tire at Michelin, it makes it sound likes it's made for city buses and short haul truck that may encounter curbs more than a highway truck might.  My supposition of that is, that they will ride rougher than an other type of tire might.  Honestly, Michelin could do a lot better job describing specifics about these tires, like they do or do not recommend them for RV's or other applications.  

    I've only found 1 or 2 posts using a google search, where someone actually talks about the XZE's ride, and those posts are 3+ years old.  

    So, can someone elaborate on the ride, wear, traction, performance of the XZE tires on their RV ?  

    I read negative reviews about Continental's and I've discovered that Hankook's in my specific size, are made in China.  I'm not buying Chinese tires.  

     

    Thanks.
