So. My Xmas present to me is a set of aluminum wheels and new tires for the 23' coach. I'm leaning towards the cheap Cooper tires. I get a good price from the dealer, cos I buy all my tires from him. Even they will age out before they wear out. The difference in price between them and the Michelin Xrv (assuming I could find the Michelins anyway) will be more than a second set of Coopers. I've had good luck with Coopers for years, but never tried their truck stuff. Anyone have experience with them?
My 16.5 wheels will go on the PB, which currently has ten plus year old mixed maker tires. All showing cracks and crazing, and the air is showing through on one. I got a nice set of dressup covers in 16.5 to go on them. When the PB is seaworthy, I'll sell one coach or the other, and keep the 16"ers for the one I keep.
