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.

We did the same thing only the XRV version. The RV version has some compounds to resist cracking from UV exposure. The michelin program also covers free road side hazard and warranty. Even if they crack from exposure, supposed to be replaced for cheap/free. Was nice to take our 2000 mile trip last summer with no worries about tires. Parked the RV for over 6 months and only had 1 tire down maybe 5-8 psi out of the 6 new ones.
Check your local truck tire dealers, if they sell Michelin they should have info on the program.
