Title: FMCA Tire Deal
Post by: Dwayne on July 31, 2012, 05:33:07 pm
Leaving Friday on a trip and got to thinking about my aging though pristine looking rear tires (replaced front with Michelin XZE's two years ago).  I was quoted $2500 for the four.  Do I have time or is it worth it to join the FMCA to take advantage of their discount?

Dwayne,

FMCA Michelin pricing:  http://www.fmca.com/images/stories/pdf/michelin-prices.pdf (http://www.fmca.com/images/stories/pdf/michelin-prices.pdf)

255/80R22.5 XRV's are $476.91 plus FET of $16.07 plus local tax, mounting and balancing.  XZE's are also available on the program and I suspect are a little less.

Most find that the Michelin/FMCA fleet program is well worth $50/first year less thereafter.

Once they get my credit card credited I will have saved around $350.00 for all  6 tires

Bought the four new tires (ouch!) under the FMCA deal.  Also had the coach in at the frame and axle shop for a lube job and brake inspection.  I've got nearly 90000 miles on it.  They said the brakes look like new with over 80% remaining, kingpins good and differential ok too.  Hitting the road tomorrow for Chattanooga and then Blue Ridge, GA to look at some property and even some whitewater rafting.
