michelin tires

I have xze 2's on my 5 axle trailer,,,,pretty happy with them,,,they wear nice and even,,,no complaints yet!!!
They are pretty expensive new,,,you get what you pay for though!!

 

$200 is a great deal! Michelin tires are top of the line tires. Some driver say their steers are the best money can buy. I did run the XDA's on my drives and they wore out fast. (only 60,000 miles) I think they were the wrong tires for my application. I run local and regional bulk heavy haul. I think on an OTR truck they would have lasted a lot longer. Snow traction was not good either but just the wrong tire for me. Michelins are still great tires. I usually run General/Continential tires and have great luck with them. They last very well and get good winter traction. They are little less money than a Michelin but still an expensive tire. I think if you stop buying cheep China or Japan tires and pay more for good tries you would be further a head. The off brands are not worth the lower buying price. Buy Michelins, Generals, Continentals, Bridgestones, Firestones. Never had good luck with Goodyears though.

If they are the tires I'm thinking, I had them on my trailer when I bought it new. They are 16ply but michelin is a soft tire so they squat bad. With 120lbs of air in them they still squated worse than my 14ply bridgestones. Other than that they are a great tire. I got 2 1/2 years out of them hauling heavy and legal.

 

you could also check the build date... next to the DOT letters. should be 4 digits. first 2 are the week and 2nd 2 are the year. still a good deal though.

 

a word of warning on michlin tires, if you ever have a problem with them don,t expect them to honor their warranty,

I bought 2 steer tires 2.5 years ago went about 3000 miles and one of them blew out.

I took it to a dealer and they would not even look at it, called Michelin and have got the run around for over 2 years, I finally tracked down a field rep and he looked at it and "allowed" me 200 bucks for it.

that was in april and I am still waiting for the money which I am sure I will never get.

I have a new tire shop I deal with and they just laugh when I mention michelin and warranty in the same sentence.

it is an obvious factory defect but michelin could care less.

i ran michelin's exclusively but after finding out that their warrenty s worthless i wil never buy another,
they are nothing more than another POS company taking advantage of the O/O's

 

Hope they aren't out of round !!!!!!!

If they can't be balanced with just a little weight,,,,,Good Luck !!!!!!

 

I would jump on that deal. I cant afford Michelins lol... Heck, any virgin 22.5 for $200 is a great deal, being they are Michelins thats just icing on the cake.
