As mentioned I need new rubber. I am looking around and all I find in 230/80R22.5 are Michelin XRV. The best price I can get it $3400 installed balanced and all taxes.
Is there anything else out there?

gonzo, I'm not sure if this will apply to you but have you considered coming down to the States to get your new tires? I believe that USD - CAN$ are almost on par but I believe the same tire is less money in the US.
My cousin from Ontario saved a bunch of money he said when he bought new tires for his car while here on vacation.

I thought about it but the next US town is Great Falls MT, and that is around 9 or 10 hours drive. I would not save anything!

In my comments I did say that my cousin was on vacation. I expect that he would have saved nothing had he simply come to Myrtle Beach for a set of tires! I agree 100%!
Perhaps there's a small vacation is store for you at some point ..... ya never know!

That is the plan but I need new tires first!

Mike Canter posted the attached info not long ago. Don't know if it works in Canada or not but might be worth a looksee.

I used Bridgestones on my 2000 Adventurer. Around $1800 mounted and balanced.

Gonzo, are you asking for the 245/70 R 22.5 size when you call? I believe Michelin is the only company that makes the 230/80 size.

I just looked at a bunch of new Tiffins and I think they have truck tires on them. Tread looks weird. I believe they were 285/80/22.5 XRE4'S maybe?

Yes is have. In 245/70r22.5 I can get Goodyear G66. I looked at them and no thanks that look like a logging truck tire. Only $20 cheaper. Now can I sub the Michelin with 245/70 or 245/75? Somebody told me I have to look for 245/75.

Is there any truth to what a Michelin disributer told me?
"There are no 2011 manufacture dated tires. They have yet to run a production for 2011. The best born on Michelin XRV 19.5's is 2010."

I need 22.5. apparently there are plenty in the XRV's in the Michelin Warhouse here in Alberta. But no other tire manufacturer seems to have anything comparable anywhere in Canada. What a Joke
