New Tires Today
Well, I got 6 new Toyo M156 tires for the Bounder 35K today & a front end alignment. The DOT date codes are all 3624 & 3724.
Balanced & out the door cost me $2685.71 at Southern Tire Mart in Beaumont, Texas.
The alignment done at a different shop, Beaumont Frame & Front End. I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Driving home I kicked it up to 72 mph, faster than I normally drive, & it felt MUCH more solid & ride better than the Michelins that came on the motorhome.
Life is good!

I did the exact same thing....swapped cracked Michelins, for Toyos at Southern Tire Mart. STM is very accommodating and reasonably priced.

I bought from the Beaumont Southern Tire mart almost 10 years ago. Tires I had installed were 3 month old Bridgestones. I don't remember the total drive out cost but I do know that the tires were about half the price of the Michelins I was replacing.
A decent deal with a free Firestone baseball cap to boot!

Just sayin', any new tire & alignment would likely feel better than your old tires

I also got new tires today! but went with the latest XLEZ+ Michelins.
The prior owner was a Michelin guy and I went with his recommendation.
I've been very pleased with the ride I get with Michelin, ZF IFS and SuperSteer.
Here's to the start of another season of travel!
