New shoes for the Classic

Just placed an order for six new Cooper Discoverer HT3 tires for the TV. I have previously used BF Goodrich Commercial TA's on the truck but could not pass up the deal that Sears has today. In addition, I began noticing some weird wear patterns on the TA's which influenced me away from them. A little less than $950 installed with mounting, balance, disposal and high pressure valve stems and even get back almost $140 in points from Shop Your Way. Curious if anyone has used Cooper tires on their TV and what their opinions are. This is the third set of tires for the TV in it's nine years on the road.
Bingo

Have run Cooper HT3 for several years with no problems. I use to run Goodyear Wranglers till they were wearing out to fast.

Regarding the commercial ta's...I saw a recall notice that was published in a late 2015 motorhome magazine. John

Bingo, hope you have better luck than I did. Had the Cooper Discover AT3s and they were fine on the Back, but sure didn't like being on the Front, wore really strange to the point that I got some serious vibrations when making sweeping curves at highway speed. Finally got them off last year and went back to GY Wranglers with the Kevlar Belts and no more vibrations.

Coopers are, in my opinion, a great tire

Installed 4 on my F350 SRW 3 months ago. So far so good! I had to have them when the original Continentals started to separate @ 30,000 miles.

I just put AT3s on my Ram and the are ok (not great) till i get to 75 mph (No Trailer of course) after that wicked vibration I was going to try to have them road force balanced. if that doesn't work then i guess they are coming off.
