I refuse to purchase any vehicle setting on Firestone tires since I have never had a set last more than 18K (three new cars with proper dealer performed maintenance and alignments). When we bought our class C we saw E450 based models on Goodyear and Michelin tires and my current F53 based Challenger came with Michelin, albeit they are 22.5 tires and wheels.

Interesting. I looked at a bunch of 2015/16 F-53s with 19.5" tires and did not find one that did not have Goodyear tires. Since I never got that far, I did not ask if you could get one with Michelins. And I have not seen an E-350/450 RV with anything but Michelins. I did not know that they came with Goodyears.
I will not ride on Firestones, because I had a set of their steel belted radials about 45 years ago. The ones that separated and killed people and Firestone would not step up and recognize or fix the problem. I have never owned a set since and will not buy a vehicle with them on it.
