Hi everybody, is anybody running Michelin XZA2 Energy tires?

After checking out the Continental's and Michelin's, I got a quote for $515 a tire at Les Schwab Tire for the Michelin 275/70R22.5. The Continental was about a hundred less.

Any pro's and con's on these? They say that they are specially made for motorhomes.

Thanks, Mike

I replaced my steer axle tires last year with these tires in 315/80R22.5. They are good tires but they are not made specifically for motorhomes. They are primarily truck tires which is a good thing.

Hi Mike,
I've just changed from Goodyear to Michelin XZA2'S all round and have a much better ride. Had it realigned at the same time, this makes a huge difference.
If you search the thread on tires there are a lot of opinions on what is best. In the end it's up to you but I always find you buy cheap and get cheap.
