I had hoped to hear Michelin's response to our issue by now, but it's taking a bit longer than anticipated. Maybe in a day or two. Our calendar is filling up with trying to get the last few things on our to-do list done, and to see everybody one last time before we head out. We have good friends, Bruce and Cathie, who are in the area for a month looking for a home to move to from cold, cold Maine:-) We have accompanied them on a few open houses which has been fun and enlightening. Seems as if real estate, at least in this area, is heating up again. But there is no lack of inventory, lots of places for sale. They are trying to figure out what suits them best, a pricier place on the island of Venice where they can walk around easily, or a more affordable place just off the island where they would still be able to bike and get into town easily. It's been especially fun for Jan and I as we haven't really paid any attention to real estate in quite some time.
We've been showing them around and of course eating at a bunch of our favorite places. All things we are obligated in doing before we leave:-) We have a few more lunches and dinners with friends, and a trip down towards Naples to see Joyce and Douglas before we leave as well.
We did get a little good news on the tires though, the dealer found Michelin's new X Coach HL Z, so he ordered 8 for us. As I said it is a brand new tire that I think we will be happy with. So hopefully next week we'll get them installed, with considerable help from Michelin. We have a couple sensors, a water in fuel sensor, and a low coolant sensor to install, less than an hour's work, and just a couple other little things, and we'll be out of here until next December.

What am I missing here, two steer axle tires, four drives = 6 tires
Do you have a tag axle too?
Also, be careful a bunch of states including Oregon and Washington are enforcing the 5 axle rules, makes you a truck and subject to lower speed limits. My buddy has a show hauler with a three axle car trailer. Thus he got the 1/2 inspection from O.S.P. Sunday for going 64 in a TRUCK 55 zone on I-84.
Yup, sure do, 8 tires. Those were the ones you tripped over when looking the coach over when we were there:-) Just hassling.
We are careful, but we drive so slow anymore it rarely matters 62 is about the max. Appreciate the heads up though! Have to real careful in Oregon about all sorts of things!
