XPS RIB

Comments about XPS Rib:

Have these on a F350 dually and also on a 40ft Kountry Aire. The trailer weighs 20,000 before you put your water and personnal items in it. Read some of the reviews and it has been my experience under inflation will cause tire failure. With that said when I bought these tires the dealer put 60 pounds of air in them. Ford said, 60 pounds so that is what they did. Well I fixed that I run 90 pounds in them and have not had a lick of trouble with them. Bought all 12 tires in 2004, still have them on the vehicals. The ones on the truck have 80,000 plus miles and the ones on the trailer have about a 1,000 miles on them. Can't stress it enough put some air in them. It has 80 pounds on the side of the tire, but I run 90 in mine. Bought these in mind to recap when the tread wears out. I will say that gravel hurts them some. I'm going to recap them and run them some more. Another thing don't run them into curbs because the side wall is 2 ply. They are built on the same platform as the XZA class 8 truck tire. I have ran the XZA recaped 3 times when I trucked. I put 115 pounds in those tires. Remeber under inflation causes heat, heat destoys tires.

Comments about XPS Rib:

I have RIB tires on our 2000 Dodge Laramie 3500 DRW Quad Cab 4X4 (2nd set, wore out the first set at 60K), our 2006 GMC Sierra CC DRW 4x4 (27K miles on them) and on our 14400lb 5th wheel Holiday Rambler camper (15K miles on them). Never have had one problem with any of the 4 sets of RIB tires purchased. I wouldn't buy any other tire.

1 Based on internal wear test results versus other MICHELIN Light Truck products. Actual savings may vary.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
