I just put 8 Michelin X Coach XZA 295 80 22.5 tires on our 42' Dynasty. Drove it home 50 miles and it drives like a dream! I was buying them through the Monaco International RV Club fleet pricing program but the dealer let me have them for about $38 each lower than that :-)

Not really sure as I didn't really compare the differnent Michelin models. I know the X Coach is about $15 to $20 higher. The X Coach is also rated J. The dealer I purchased them is the largest dealer in the Fort Worth, Texas area and sells lots of tires to the bigger motor home dealers in the area. They have about 20 bays for trucks/rvs and do a lot of business. When I told him what size I needed he said they had great results with the X Coach tires so I didn't ask any more questions. The ones that were on the coach were Goodyear Marathon LHS with 67,000 miles on them but still had over 50% of the tread left but they were the original tires so they all had 2002/2003 date codes.

The X Coach tires are rated better by Michelin also...

From Michelin website:

All-position, long-haul charter bus tire designed for mileage, safety and comfort.

New tread design helps deliver up to 15% higher mileage by 2/32nds" deeper tread depth and a 0.4" wider tread, while maintaining superior performance.*

Central zig-zag tread grooves help deliver improved grip for a shorter braking distance on wet or icy roads.*

Lined profile and closed shoulder help deliver a quieter ride.*

* in comparison to the XZA2 Energy.
