No idea if this has ever been posted to Forum before. Hits a lot of general topics that relate to us all.

Thanks, Derek

I had never spent more than 200 on my motorhome tires till Jan 2017. Always went cheap, only had a couple blowout. Ride quality was always bone jarring unless I ran pressures down to as low as 60psi.

Then I bought 4 michelin xze's. Was driving through Birmingham and blew one cheap winston tire on tag and a belt was letting go on a sumitomo on passenger side steer.

So two xze's go on tag axle, two on steer.

WOW. I had no idea how much better the ride quality can be. Got the xze's at 90psi. Smooth. Little slamming.

Still have 4 hercules on drive axle. Can't put much more than 60psi in them or bone jarring feeling every road flaw starts. Less than 4k miles on them but thinking to put xze's there also. Anyone know of xze deals in the kansas city region?

Yesterday I drove from Ft. Meyers to Tampa. About two hours.
On I-75, I saw three fifth wheels and a huge MH puller over.
Two of the fifth wheels had blown tires and body damage. One had TV trouble (hood up). The MH was towing a long trailer with TWO cars on it. More tire problems!

None of those folks were having a good day. I'm a believer that 90% of tire problems can be avoided.
