I put a set of Discoverer II on my Eagles (Cooper Tire). They don't make noise and they ride well, and the dealer got them about three weeks out of the mold according to the date on them.

IMO, what ever tire you buy, buy tires that are a national brand from a national company. I bought an off brand of tire from a local dealer and had troubles with 4 of the 6 off brand tires, at times, 1000 miles from home. This particular brand was only sold in the upper midwest, so I had to put on the spare and hope it made it back home to adjust the "off brand". I now buy Michelin tires from Walmart. They are a name brand and can be adjusted at any Walmart anywhere in North America. So...you don't like Walmart?? Go to Tires Plus. You don't like Michelin tires? Get Brigstone, or Goodyear. Save yourself time and frustration. Keep it a national brand at a nation wide store. JMHO
