I don't know about the warranty, but I have the BF Goodrich Commercial T/A's on ours. You are going to get a list of different tires (from different people) to chose from. And they are all good.

In answer to your question about warranty I would check the build date available on this site and there should be a phone # stamped on tire as I recollect, or this site should have list of 800 #

There have been some on here who have gotten some compensation for the bad Missions. I tried and had no success.
Replaced mine with Michelin XPS Ribs.

I have the Goodrich Commercial TAs on my 2955 also, and they are good tires. Get rid of those Missions now. They are a disaster waiting to happen.

We had the same problem but on and 08 and the tire blew in the Keys in 09. Shredded the side of the rig. Tireco is the supplier or at least was when we had our problem. Their # is 800-227-8925, and they have a web site also www.tireco.com they would have paid for the repairs but I had the damage repaired at the Factory service center last year. Tireco if they will cover the damage will send you forms to fill out and a replacement Freestar tire. Another chinese bomb. I replaced mine with Goodyear Marathons. But now there is some question about the Marathons having problems. Not sure what I will do if the Marathons go south as several members have just experienced. I want to go to G614 Goodyears however printed on the tire is the statement "mount on a minimum 6.5 inch wide rim" The standard Aluminum on the Montanas now is 6 inch wide. Some members are looking seriously at the BFG AT Commercials... Dave

We got rid of our Mission's before problems. Traded them to a Goodyear dealer for G614's. We got $30 a piece in trade for new G614's. Final cost per tire was $258....now we travel with a lot more confidence!

You have some good suggestions so far, here are mine:

- Get rid of the Missions ASAP, if one blew, the others are not far behind.
- Forget the STs in our size...235/80R16, they are all made in China.
- I got Bridgestone Duravis 500s 235/85R16s.
- IMHO, the G614s, although great tires, are a bit of an over kill unless a fulltimer.
- I'll never again have Chinese tires on any vehicle I own.

If they are still under warranty, try to get a refund instead another mission bomb.

Buy a set of AMERICAN made tires to support your weight. I switched to 16" wheels (Made in the USA) and BFG Comercial TA's. The piece of mind is wonderful!

I too will never own another set of Chinese bombs. In fact, I shy away from anything made in China as much as I can.

I try to stay away from the Made in China merchandise but it is becoming almost a losing battle! After I got my Made in USA Goodyear G614s I found stamped on the back of my Monty's 2011 Tredit wheels "Made in China"!!! If I were able to special order wheels on a new Monty they would be FORGED Alcoas. I worked for Alcoa for 30years and I'm definately biased!
