The CFO says I can get new kicks for our coach. I'm embarrassed to say the tires on it now are OLD. The Bridgestone V-Steel ribs we have on it are over 12 years old and have nearly no side wall cracking and tons of tread left. I'm leaning on getting Bridgestones again, based upon how much I have liked the ones we have. I'm looking at the Bridgestone Duravis R500 HD. It is a 2 ply poly sidewall tire. Have any of you run these?

Thanks,
Rick

Hey Rick. I had 12yr Mich LTX M/S in perfect shape but took off to be safe. Same scenario. I went with Cooper HT3. Similar but at much lower price. The coopers have closed edge blocks which I find slightly better with truck passing push as less block squirm. Wait till Farm and Fleet has their big sale. You get 25% off and $70 Visa prepay. Didn't like the last Bridgestone pass car tires we had but do like the Cooper CS5 in car tires so that's all I got.
