Jean Pierre,
Based on what we just heard on Michelin XPS's from the seminar in Rayne,
I suggest you might want to investigate further before going with them
for your new (to you) Elanganza. I'm hoping there's not more than some
ancedotal evidence to support the report that they shouldn't be mounted
on 6" rims (by all means be sure they are put on radial rims) and that
Michelin has been expirenceing problems with the XPS. But the jury is
out and I'm expecting the Net to help sort things out. Good luck with
your new coach.

Yes, that's for real. We live in a 10 acre out-parcel (where we can park our
GMC in our driveway all of the time) surrounded by Columbia (where you cannot
park your motorhome in your driveway). Our street name is very tame compared
to most in this very Yuppie town. We too, woke up to snow piled up on our
deck, but it's mostly gone now. I guess it's time to go out and pump the
water off the pool cover.
