I was about to buy Michelin XRV 19.5 tires and was told they are no longer carried but replaced with XZE series. Has anyone heard of this and could you comment please. Thanks

The XZE is a much better tire with a higher load carrying capacity.

I ran them for years on the steer axle of my trucks. There is no better tire than Michelin. The XZE is a great tire.

The XZE is a much better tire than the XRV. That said, I'd still recommend switching to Goodyear or Toyo due to the problems previous owners have had with the XRV and Michelin's failure to address the sidewall failure issue. JMHO
