I just replaced my tires with six Michelin XZE* tires. I purchased the tires using the FMCA and Michelin Advantage Program. Six 255/70/22.5 tires cost $2915 including tax. You pay Michelin directly for the tires and pay the tire dealer for installation. Installation, balancing, valves for the six tires cost $259. I find the ride on the Michelin smoother than the Hankook, but time will tell if they hold up better. I did have very good service from the original Hankook tires which had a mfg date code corresponding to the 8th week of 2007. Michelin tires which were installed were made in the UK, so they are not Made in the USA. The local Hankook dealer really was not familiar with large tires and trucks, so I decided that it was better going to a truck tire dealer. I used Callahan Tire. They are located in many Florida areas I travel.
