Had to have 4 new tyres on MH this week - opted for Michelin XC Camping. Can't believe the price difference for 4 tyres, balancing and tracking  - £245.84 between the cheapest and most expensive. You can guess wich we had

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.

I hope that they fitted the metal type valves Jeanann & not the usuall rubber type. Fiat recalled all motorhomes on the ducatto chassis that run high tyre pressures last year (ours included) for replacement of the rubber valves, which have been known to blow out at the pressures usually run on a motorhome.

It is just worth a check, if not the metal ones, ask the supplier to ring Michelin for advice, letting them know that pressures up to 75psi may be recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

 

Regards

Mark

The most expensive? After all, this is all that's between you and the road

I know I can't always get the most expensive - who can? But I do try and get the best I can for the money I have :-)

Mark - yes thye did automatically fit the metal valves so no problem there

'The Marshalls' - it was not a case of buying a cheaper tyre as all the tyres priced were Michelin XC Camping - the difference was just in the price.

£122 each,  the old tyres had done 28,000 miles - the front ones were worn and needed replacing but the back ones had started to crack and were over 5 years lod so advised to change.
