That is what I wanted today to put on 6 on our coach xza3+ as they are now called, but none in Fl have to go to Maine to get them, wrong time of the year for Maine for me.

Would use all position/steer tires in the rear. My opinion is there are a quite a few Asian and American brands that are at least the equal to Michelins. I have been driving on Michelins since the late '50s when I worked at a Citroen dealership after school. Great tire then and now but unlike then, there are a lot of other players in the game now with more than competitive prices.

Talk to tour bus operators, LD truckers and find out what they use and why they might favor a particular brand.

I would check out getting a credit on the two fronts and get a clean set of new tires on all 6 positions.

quote from Pierce"Talk to tour bus operators, LD truckers and find out what they use and why they might favor a particular brand."

That was my reason(truckers like them) for going with the Toyo's, cheaper than Mich' ( even with FMCA) and just as good. I also had them (as I had said) on my 7 BMW for many years after having Mich' as the OEM tyre and I liked the Toyo's much better. Better grip better cornering and traction.

Our 98 had Yokahoma on the rear and not sure how old but looked great. On our 03 the yokahoma tires are 5 years old and show much weather checking, however they were 2 different model of tires on the 2 coaches, so not sure of them.
