When I had to replace my tires Toyos were not available so I had Michelins installed.  They cost twice as much but the ride is better.  When we are leveled in a campground the RV rocks side to side more than it did on the Toyos.  You gotta take the good with the bad.

Yes, if you have money to burn, then Michelins are the best tires.  If not, then Toyos are a good second and substantially cheaper choice.  Several years ago, I had to get two steering axle tires when Toyos were not available.  The only two tires the shop had were Pirelli truck tires in my 315 size.  The tires have knobs, not highway tread.  They ride okay but have a noticeable whine... so I turn the music volume up a notch.
