I have lost my trust in Michelin. They seem to produce the only tire on the market that suffers with side wall cracking on a consistent basis. I am switching to Toyo M154 tires in the H range. Check them out. This company has a good rep and is not Chinese but Japanese. Good quality control. Warranty solutions seem to be a problem, from what I read, if needed. But that is not very often.

I have over 200 thousand mile with Michelins on three different coaches. No problems. I would stick with the Michelins.

Many MH owners seem to feel that Michelin and Goodyear are the only tires for MH's. Fact is there are many other very good tires well suited for MH use, such as Bridgestone, Continental ,Dunlop, Firestone, General, Ohtsu, Sumitomo, Toyo, and Yokohama.

I am on my 2nd set of XZA3. The first came with the coach and provided good service, no sidewall cracking at all.
At 8 years, I decided to replace all six since this will be the last set I plan to buy for this coach, and I got a deal I could not refuse.
I have not experienced other brands or types but can say the XZA3 is an excellent tire in so far as ride and handling.
