I have a 2011 Tradition 43ft and just installed Toyos on the front 315 80 22.5 have about 3k miles so far and cant be happier. I have the 295's on my rear tires and I will be using Toyos on them as well. Very highly regarded at half the price of Michelins.

I am in our 5th MH and I have had Michelin tires on all my MHs and have been very happy with them. You will get many different suggestion from our members so I suggest you do some research and go with what you feel comfortable with. Good luck with your search.

My 295 Toyo's were over $300 less per tire than the FMCA discounted Michelin price. The ride is great. Reviews seem to show it's a well built safe tire at a reasonable price that doesn't get the sidewall cracking like the M's.

Michelin is a great tire and the FMCA discount is significant. However, there are other great tires available, some at lower cost. Toyo, Hankook, Bridgestone, Continential are examples. I had Hankook AH-12's on my previous coach and they were a great tire.

My MH came with Michelins. After 4 years they were racked bad and were replaced with Bridgestones. 8 years later replaced them with Yokohama's and I very happy with them Saved a ton of money too.

6 new Toyota M154 tires will be installed on our motorhome very soon as they have been ordered. I will be providing some feedback after driving on them. Our unit is stored at a local trucking company and the owner gave high praises for Toyo tires that have been installed on his trucks. That along with feedback on the forums influenced my choice.

Mine were $387 per tire plus 5.5% sales tax. A local dealer beat the Simpletire price.
