That brings up another point that if you have a blow out you are happy to pay what the closest tire store asks. I wasn't in a position to get a bargain in Cleveland. Had to drive around in extreme traffic to even find a tire store that carried tires that big. So $1600 was not for Michelins. It was for whatever they had to get us back on the road.
I have AAA RV plus. Called them right away. They kept stalling sending someone. I ended up changing the blow out myself in a gas station parking lot. It was a dirty sweaty job. The AAA 'help' showed up right about when I was done. They sent a helpless looking old man who was extremely relieved that this old man already changed the tire. I had a neck ache that lasted a couple days.
