I put Cooper Discoverer HT3's on and they seem to be a quality tire made in the U.S. and you can get them in highway tread or the mud/snow, Got them at Discount tire, but I am sure they are sold everywhere and they price
is substantially less than Michelins.

Cooper has a voluntary recall out on some Discoverer tires, but they appear to be the Discoverer SRX.

BTW, Goodyear Tire is in the process of buying Cooper Tire.

- I bought 7 new Kumho's for Ol' Leaky from them in February and had them delivered to a Blacklist contact near where I was to pick up the GMC. Free shipping BTW.
I could have had them mounted and balanced for an additional C$10/tire but as I wasn't sure of the date the Fraser canyon would be snow and ice free, it made it difficult to make an appointment with one of their approved installers.
Too bad i couldn't take advantage of the mount and balance deal because I ended up taking them in to a Tire shop and paid close to $300 to get them mounted and balanced and the shop took 6 hours to do the job.

You should have brought them over Larry, I have a tire machine and balancer in my garage. Bit of a drive though I guess.In Canada, you could do very well with blackcircles.ca

I think I'll mount up a 16.5 for my spare. Hopefully never have to use it. I'll check out blackcircles.ca
She was driven out to BC from Belleville Ontario in August 2020 (on shit tires though
)
Belleville? How did I miss that? I was in Belleville a couple of days ago. It's closer to me than where I did find my GMC in Dec 2020, good thing for you I didn't see it or 'ol leaky might have been mine.She was driven out to BC from Belleville Ontario in August 2020 (on shit tires though
She was stored in the Parkhurst Motors school bus garage (indoors) for the last 10 years, apparently only put on 400 miles during that time. Never offered for sale, I bought the coach from a aging relative here in BC.
BTW I think your coach is a beautiful example, so no need for regrets!

ps I'm aging too
I've seen the Parkhurst Motors cars, if your rig was treated similarly it should be sturdy. They're a fixture at my local racetrackShe was stored in the Parkhurst Motors school bus garage (indoors) for the last 10 years, apparently only put on 400 miles during that time.

I'm a bit late here, but I've been running Toyo Open Country tires since 2013. I quite like them, quite and don't seem to overheat. I had Michelin's before, but could not get replacements in a timely manner after a blowout, but these were in-stock.
They are due for replacement and I'll likely go with them again.
I need new rear tires (they’re 5 years old) next season and am currently running Michelins. They work very well and I’ve had zero problems, so I plan to shell out beaucoup bucks for new Agilis tires next spring. I’d like to buy them from TireRack, but am concerned about the date codes. I don’t want year-old tires 
. Has anyone had any issues with old tires from them?

No. I have purchased Michelin tires for my Corvettes over the past 30 years from Tirerack and never had an issue. I have read that they sell 1 year old tires but I have never had that experience.I need new rear tires (they’re 5 years old) next season and am currently running Michelins.

I'm running generals on my rig. They run round, haven't changed balance, have no weird handling quirks that I can pick up on, and they are also considerably cheaper than Michelin.
