I have been on the road & I needed a new LF tire. I called TCI in Oklahoma City which was about 200 miles away. The manager stated he had the "315" tire in stock. When I arrived they had an open bay & began the work immediately. The manager was familiar with the Michelin Advantage Program and accepted my certificate without any issues. He also stated he stocks all the tire sizes used on Newells, including 365s. Shop was very clean. Employees were dressed in clean uniforms and the job was done quickly and cleanly. I was back on the road in just over an hour after my arrival. This company has location(s) in most states and I would recommend them based on my experience.

This was the first time I had used the Michelin Advantage Program, so I wasn't sure how it would go or how much the savings would be. I got registered into the program through Dupree Products. You preregister a credit card with Michelin that the purchase will be charged to. I was quoted $975 for the tire plus labor, valve stem & taxes before they knew the purchase would be through the Advantage Program. While I haven't received a broken down receipt, I have seen what my credit card was charged & the tire savings was in the $300 range.

I purchased a tire today through TCI Tire Center in Springfield, MO. They ordered the tire and got it in on schedule. I purchased the tire through the Michelin Advantage program sponsored by Dupree Products. Interesting note is that I found out that TCI Tire Centers is actually owned by Michelin and is their commercial distributor. This is the second time I have purchased tires through this company and have been very pleased.

I've never signed up yet for the Michelin advantage program. So how and where do I sign up?
I'll need new fronts next year but never know if I need one on the road.

Just sent the e-mail to
[email protected] and thanks for this info. I need 6 tires this year and was going to Newell to avoid getting my perfect wheels scratched up, but after reading about TCI I am rethinking while waiting for my certificate to arrive. Thanks Steve

Forest it is a FMCA program. Go to FMCA on your computer and go to the Michelin Advantage Program and it will give you the instructions of how to do it.

The Michelin Advantage Program is available through many sources. It is available through FMCA, if you are a member, Dupree Products, PrevostCommunity.Com, if you are a member, Michelin and probably others. Doesn't matter who you use, it is the same program for everyone.
