    i bought a set of of ten 235/80/22.5 michelin xrv tires brand new with stickers made in 2008. i paid $100 per tire they were bought from an rv dealer but the guy passed away and never got a change to use them. The wife told me to give her 1k and take the tires because she needed the house empty by today. So now im wondering would mounting these tires on one of the trailers be ok right now im moving trucks from sturtevant to davenport and back ? I still have to do the math and find out the max load per each tire and compare the height to one of the low pros i got on but whats you r opinion on these tires

    Might keep in mind, tire life is not just the miles or wear but also it's age. The belts in most tires, start to break around 5-7 years old. I've seen this on tires with no wear but just age.

    If they don't work for you-would be interested in four to six tires.
