Make sure that the load capacity or load range rating meets or exceeds the ones that are on there now. If possible match the ones that you have on the rear.

I just put BF Goodrich tires on my TV because they were the only ones in my size that were LT tires. The BF Goodrich tires are made in the USA by Michelin.

My 2018 3010DS came with Korean Hankook tires. After 9000 miles, I'm very satisfied with their performance...very smooth and quiet ride.

I put the Firestone Transforce tires on my 32 footer - replaced all 6. These are standard on most ambulance vehicles which also carry some weight. 2 years and about 8,000 miles, no problems at all.

Replacement tires

I replaced all 6 tires on my 28 ft. Sunseeker with Michelin LT in March before Florida trip.. Drove through snow and rain I'm very satisfied with the performance .

Our 28’ Lexington came with Michelin’s. They were from the run that were recalled. They were replaced free of charge. Very pleased all around.

We just replaced all 6 Michelin LT tires with the same. They were 5 years old and I was not going to take any chances with tire problems with tires that were beyond their life of bearing 5 years of heavy weight. I believe all tires should be replaced at the same time. If not that then at least the same type tires that are already on the MH. Hopefully they are LT's also.

Last season I replaced all 6 with Michelin Defender LTX, which replaced the old LTX and am very happy. On my last rig, I used Firestone Transforce HT's which were fantastic...probably safe to assume the HT2 (which replaced the old HT) will perform as well.

Just make sure whatever you use, they're Load Range E.

Goodyear G949 tires are heavy duty and used in commercial applications. I have 4 of them on my 3100 Sunseeker. They weigh about 10 pounds more than the LTX tires they replaced. Ride is ok. They are quit every pricey, though.

Check the make of your tire and the DOT number online. I had all 7 of my tires replace for free from michelen becuase of a recall.

It might save you 2500 dollars

All I see is from 2013 for the recall on the tires. What year were yours?

That sounds about right. I recall we read about the recall here on the forum early in 2015 when we were making plans to replace our tires for the spring start to camping season. Checked our serial numbers and voila we were “winners”. Had all of them replaced balanced and reinstalled absolutely free. Like winning the lottery!
