Larry,
I was looking at Ironman tires too, I found a place near JimK which sells them for 86.99! Problem is manufacture has switched to China and there has been some reported issues with them on 5th wheels and moderate weight coaches. How long ago did you get your set?
Maxxis tires are made in thailand or taiwan they own their factory and have gotten good marks in terms of qualuty recently. The 761 Bravo tire swlla near me for 123.25 so a bit more then thd ironman but nowhere near the almost 2 bills for Michelin! Basically looki g for an affortable tire that isn't total china crap...

Title says it, anyone habe experience with them I've found some good reviews on them....

I'm running a set of "Ironman" tires made in USA by Hurcules. Good tires, but getting them serviced is difficult. They just don't have the broad dealer network that the name brands have. So if you are stuck in tim-buck-two with tire problems....
My next set will be a name brand. JMHO

Thanks for the comment, didn't know that they went to China. Got my Ironman's one year ago. Had problems with one balancing out properly, and had a hell of a time finding a dealer in the southern states that wasn't several hundred miles out of the way. It would have cost me more in gas to get to the dealer than what the tire was worth. Finally just drove the spare home and had original dealer adjust it. They did give me a new tire mounted and balance for free...sooooo
