FMCA - Michelin Advantage tire purchase program. An Update

[tommybahama]

Being French, I have to have Michelin tires.

Last year I replaced my aging steers with new XZA2 Energy tires at an installed cost of nearly $2,000.

This year I spent some time contacting Michelin dealers in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia to buy 6 more tires under the FMCA's Michelin Advantage program. Surprisingly, many dealers had never heard of the program or didn't want to participate. One dealer offered me a cash side deal off the books.

Happily, I found TCI, a chain of some 150 tire dealers across the country. Their Nashville store, which I settled on for my tires, outfits motorhomes and buses under the FMCA Michelin program all the time.

I learned during my visit that TCI is owned by Michelin. They do sell other brands however. Here's their site.

Attached is my invoice. You can see for yourself I saved about $2,000 from list. Gotta recommend them for professionalism and value.
