I am looking to replace the current Michelin 275/70/22.5 XZA2 Energy Tires soon DOT early 2009. But according to Michelin these tires are on back order. But I did heard back from a local Michelin dealer here in the the Houston TX area that he can get a set of 6 Michelin XZE2+ 275/70/22.5 tires and he is checking on the dates.
Here are the specs on both tires.

XZA2 Energy

No real difference in size, or load ratings, both LR J. The Energy tire is designated as an RV tire and the XZEA2+ is designated as a regional tire.
I am going through the FMCA Michelin Advantage Program and the dealer does participate in the program. The XZE2+ is not listed in the Michelin Advantage Tire brochure but the dealer said another customer had talked with FMCA and said that they were also included.
Before I go further, does anyone have any experience with this tire or any comments. Thanks
