Sounds all good to me, just waiting to hear back from a local tire dealer.  Seem there has been a change to the FMCA connection to the Michelin Advantage program, and they are waiting for an update.

The Monaco process change is not until next week.  Check the Monaco club site.  Check the Monaco price against the FMCA price.  The Michelin dealer can give you the FMCA price.   The Monaco price is on the club site.

i wound up going to 295/80R x 22.5 up front with 95# all around,  made a dramatic difference.  During the process of changing I checked the date code on the 275's and found 04.  I got suspicious and checked the rears as well, lo and behold they are 04 as well.  I'm thinking about putting up a sign in front of the dealer "Bend over all ye who shop here".  :-/

It was a learning experience, eh?  Let's just hope the dealer didn't fudge anywhere else.

Glad you are happy with the tire and ride results, and that the RVSEF was able to assist.  Just be sure to get your four corners weighed so you know that 95psi in the back is enough;  bumping up to 100psi wouldn't hurt your ride much and may be a margin of safety  ;).

Did you take advantage of the Monaco/Michelin program?  Have the alignment checked as I suggested?

FWIW, I did not check the date codes until a few days after I had 315 Michelins installed by TCI in Orlando.  The tires about 13 months old.  I assume 315s are not in high demand and have no idea how new a new tire should be.

the dealer matched the FMCA price without the hassel.  The alignment check will come when I get near a shop which is able to do the work.
