Title: purchase Michelin XZA3 tires
Post by: Barry & Cindy on March 06, 2011, 02:09:10 pm
Anything new on FMCA-Michelin 55% discount since the February postings on FMCA web site?

We are in the market for 6 XZA3 load-range-H 275/80R22.5 tires.  What are recent prices and availability issues?

I bought 6 of these a year ago in Nac for our 1999 U320. But based on past discussion here I'll get 6 Toyo's in future. Especially after my good experience with Toyo's on our U295.

As the old saying goes, YMMV

best, paul

 Quote from Paul Smith: "But based on past discussion here I'll get 6 Toyo's in future. Especially after my good experience with Toyo's on our U295."

Paul, when I bought new steering Michelin XZA3's last summer, there was some uncertainty regarding where Toyo would be manufacturing their truck tires.  Their new tire plant here in the U.S. is exclusively for automobile tires.  They had outsourced their truck tires to a different company/factory here in the States.  That company decided to stop building fires for Toyo (unknown reason).  Thus the Toyo wholesale distributor for the Nacogdoches area said "wait and see".  Perhaps the uncertainties have been resolved, though it would be good to know which company is making them for Toyo.

Our Toyos on the motorhome were made in Japan.
