I personally do not use Michelin anymore, since they age out before they are used up. Don’t see the advantage of spending big bucks on tires that sit most of the time.

I will say for my automobiles I buy nothing but Michelin period. They last and wear well. In fifteen years or RVing, 6 of those years I switched to the Saliun or Toyo.

This all started when I sold a bluebird to a gentleman who worked at the Goodyear tire plant, he said he buys “Chinese” tires. At first I thought he was crazy, then after thinking about it, and he had been using them I thought I would give them a try. Everyone always says I’m not risking it, you’re putting your lives in danger, blah, blah. The Chinese tires that ever had problems were used on overweight travel trailers. These semi truck tires are heavy duty. I think of all the trucks China have on the roads and if they are running them must be Ok.

Anyway I have run them zero problems. Saved a lot in wasted money on tires. I believe the Saliuns are made in Vietnam.

I buy the premium EFT tires, all position, Saliun, or If I can find some Toyo’s I will occasionally choose those.

Just my thoughts.

Johnny:
Thank you for sharing your experience. Likewise I stopped purchasing Michelins as got too pricey and put Continental on the steer wheels two years ago and am very happy with them. Interesting that the Sailun's are so inexpensive compared to the name brands; and yet they spec out the same. So your input is appreciated as I am going to install the Sailuns on my drives and tags. Do you recall exactly which EFT? the commercial trailer tire, i.e. S665 etc?
Thanks
