    A few days ago I had 8 Michelins put on my bus using the discount program. 315’s x8 = $6,738.33. i may be incorrect but the quote I got without the discount was less as I remember. I appreciate the discount programs but I did not ask the discounted price assuming it was less. Any thoughts or experiences with this?

    Reason I’m staying with Brigdestones on the front and Samsons on the back. Save that $2500 on body work when they pop. Ain’t never had one do that yet. They should all run 5 years. That’s when I change um.

    What was the cost breakdown, tires, FET, tax, mount and balance?

    XZA1 shows 700.23 + FET

    XZA2 shows 702.13 + FET

    I purchased my tires from the Michelin program appx 3 yrs ago. If I remember correctly the price shown on the paper work was not the actual price charged to me. I do not know why it is done that way. I suggest to call Michelin and find out what was actually charged to your credit card

    About 25,000 miles on my toyo tires and no problems or complaints. Was able to get them easily and they were about $575 mounted and fees per tire.

    Oh and the dealer i used refunded me about $100 per tire for the take offs he sold to local dump tuck operators without even telling me about it up front. Brought my price per tire to under $500 per tire in the end.

    I know we all want michelins but when you can’t get them, just remember there are very good options out there and the price savings is a nice bonus.

    Charles’ advice may apply to those with only 315 tires, but those of us with 365 tires are screwed.

    I just bought a set of 315’s. I was told by two charter bus companies they were running Continental HA3 on all of their buses. Continental had a sale that was less than I could get them with the FMCA discount, $399 each. With $885 credit for my tires, I left spending $3618.45 for a set of 8. The ride is great. I thought it was a great deal.
