The LTX M/S LRE are quiet but they now have been 'improved' so can 't say for positive. Also balanced well.

I am looking at purchasing new tires for our coach.

I am trying to decide between the

BFGoodrich All Season T/A Load Range E @ $ 172 each

or

Michelin LTX M/S2 @ 211 each


The Michelin is a longer rated tire but I am not sure I can put the miles on the tires before they age out.

I currently have the BFGoodrich and they have been good tires.

At @ 39 difference each would amount $ 234 total price difference.

Any preferences from the net?

Is that the Commercial TA? Others have liked them. I haven't seem the MS/2 tread pattern to see if they changed it from the old LTX M/S. I heard BFG was bought by Michelin years ago anyway.

That's the commercial T/A. I left the 'commercial' off of the listing.

And I think that you are correct about Michelin bought out
Goodrich.

Hi Bob, I am happy with my Dunlop Rovers. Local dealer sold me 6 for $600, I mounted and used equell balance beads.

Yes, Michelin bought Uniroyal/BF Goodrich a few years ago. I also have BFG on my coach purchased 2 seasons ago and they are quiet.
