Michelin offers a 5 yr warrantee and Goodyear offers a 4 yr warantee.
Costco sells the Xrv 240/70r/19.5 LHF for $283 installed. But here in
Connecticut they said that they do not have the facilities to install
them. The G670 rv, same size and load are, $291 plus balancing ($24
each tire) , plus mounting ($75 for all 6)
Does anyone have facts on what percent of RVs use Michelin vs
Goodyear? Thanks,

If you can get the Michelin mounted by Costco, but not installed, and you
can get the road hazard guarantee, go with the Michelin XRV.

When we hit a curb with the right front, it got destroyed. Replaced by
Costco for $10.00 mounting charge. I had to put it on the rig, but what the
heck. I got jacks on the MH that will lift the tires off the ground.

This year in Oregon I noticed the right rear, outside had a gash in it.
Costco replaced it for $10.00 mounting, and $65.00 wear. Again, I had to
install it, but they mounted it.

BTW, I carry an air impact wrench and a torque wrench for this purpose. :-)
