Is this a good price on 6-Michelin tires mounted? I have 2 newer front toyo tires that Im moving to the tag wheels and putting the Michelins on the steer and the drive. Im also going though FMCA. $3909.00 This price is before the discount.

That sounds pretty good to me! Jump on it.

If you have the FMCA discount going for you, in my experience, that is as good as you are going to find on Michellin high quality tires.

Offhand that sounds like a solid price.

It would be helpful to know the exact tire sizes and/or SKU to be able to gauge the nature of the price.

For example, I look at that price and think it’s very good because we run 315s on the steer, and 295s elsewhere. I suspect your sizes are a bit different and that may affect my perception of value.

Did you also mean to say the $3909 is before any FMCA discount? If so, that is even better.

Please provide the vendor and your experience with them. This might earn the shop a little referral business.

Thanks

Price sounds good Thor. Assume your Steers you are moving are 295 80R 22.5's, so all the new tires maybe 295 Michelin. I put on Michelin Steers (X Coach HL Z, mainly for the load rating, about $750 per tire on the program) over a year ago and really like them. May put 295's all the way on the rest. Let us know what tire you are going with, and how it drives and rides.

I was just going with the 275/80r 22.5. Should I be looking for a larger tire?

What does your yellow sticker by your driver chair say? It will have the size of tires you should be running. On our Anthem, it is 315/80R22.5 on the front and 295/80R22.5 on the rest of them. I have a 2015 Anthem, though, so not positive if yours is the same.

Don’t know on the Aspire, but the 2013 Anthem had 295’s on the front.

I"d stick with the toyo brand. I've had some problems with the mich brand.

Thor, your Aspire front should have 295's (or specified for 295's) on it, and 275's on the drive and Tag. Like mentioned, see the yellow tag to see what it says.

Putting 295's all the way around is no problem. Also, what is the size of the Toyo on the front. (295 80R 22.5)?

Some of the tire experts may chime in here, but I'm not sure if you go with 275's on the drive Axle, and move the Toyo to the tag and they are 295's, if that would be a problem.

My first year I owned my classic (I was the was the second owner), and somewhere before I purchased it, my 295 front tires got rotated to the Inner Drive Axel, with 275's on the outside. The size mis-match ate the 275 tires up.

I currently have the 295's up front, and 275 in all the back positions.
