I am currently in the market to replace the 6 tires on our coach. Going through the FMCA program is definitely cheaper than without using it in our area for Michelin tires for dealers within and without of the program. Other brands of tires are definitely cheaper than Michelins. Have not decided which tires to purchase purchase yet. That will happen next month. just doing my research at this time.

Take a look at Continental via the FMCA program.
I just got 6 new Contis installed and happy w the deal.
I did some searching and found many satisfied users and they are made in USA. one of the local truck shops indicated they sell a lot of the Contis. Prices were at least $100 below GoodYear & Michelin and more dealers in my area than Michelin HD truck tire dealers (with the FMCA you can't just use your local Michelin auto / light truck dealer)

I’ve used the FMCA Advantage program a number of times. Each time for the RV I saved about $100 per tire. I even bought new Michelin tires for my Buick LaCrosse and saved $80 each. Not all dealers who sell RV and truck tires will do it for passenger car tires. But I found one that does. The dealer gets a flat dollar amount for each tire as a handling fee. The dealer said that my cost was less than what he can buy the tires for. So I am a fan of the program.
