Wow..I never thought i would have a problem choosing tires. I have been told so many stories, I don't know where to start. I had settled on cooper lt as3 all season tires. Cost was a factor, as usual, but i have had cooper tires on everything from modified jeeps to volkswagen foxes, and was always happy. But, as usual someone always puts that doubt factor into motion and you end up going crazy, and wasting summer days trying to decide. So, just like history, the tire question has come around again. Anyone else trust cooper? Hankook? Maybe Goodyear..

You can search any one of those tire brands on here and find hours and hours worth of reading. Been there.

I'm very satisified with the Hankook tires I put on our 96 Southwind.
I'll buy them again.

If your coach is around 30ft, do not skimp on tires. Get the best possible. Replacing tires on the road is much more expensive than getting a good set new. I had to replace two tires roadside recently and it cost over $600, with trip charges and labor.

I just put Cooper LT SRMII tires on my Class C and put 3200 miles on them in one trip. The ride just as good if not better than the Michelins I replaced. Tough to tell about wear this early but obviously they don't have any wear. The handled great in a pretty crazy thunderstorm as well. I'm a huge fan of Cooper tires.

I replaced Michelin Tire with Goodyear, on my RV. I would venture to say go with Goodyear. I went to Discount Tire/American Tire got a fairly good price. I think they carry all three brands. Also stay away from Hankook I have a friend that put them on his Class A and he has had a lot of problems with them. also one more suggestion, make sure that when you change your tires you put new Valve Stems not the rubber kind or the plastic high-pressure kind but Steel. jmho
