What does everyone think of Cooper tires 245R7019.5? What about Michelin?

I feel Coopers would be a consideration along with Bridgestone, Michelin, Hankooks,  If you join FMCA, for I believe around $45 per year, you can get the F or G rated Michelins in that size for around $360-370  each.  Hankooks are usually priced attractively also.

I have owned three sets oh cooper tires . They held up very well and I have never had a problem. My Bf goodrich will ever make 50,000 miles.I will replace them with coopers.
 
In June I put Hankook AH11's on my motorhome that I have never taken anywhere in the five years I've owned it.  They look real pretty though.  I got all six installed for a little over $2000 from Purcell Tire.
 
I put Cooper's on my FourWinds in 2007.  Four years later, all five have failed.  They came off, and I put BF Goodrich on.  Having said that, they sat for awhile (although I kept the pressures up).  If you drive them around regularly, they'll probably be OK.
 
I replaced all my tires with Coopers in your size on my 2006 Pursuit for $250 ea. plus ttnl.  Put 15-25,000 miles on them with no problems. Highly recommend them.

Danno9,
You don't say where you live but I bet there is a State park less than a 1/4 tank away. You should go there.

Bill you are certainly right about that.  I live less than 15 miles from Catalina State Park in AZ.  The motorhome I have is a 98 National SeaBreeze that has less than 23K miles on it.  Problem is I don't trust it to make a trip anywhere.  There is nothing wrong with it that I know of but with its age I am leary.  It is also on the lousy P37 chassis which makes driving it a chore.  It has had all the mods done and Henderson's Line Up in Oregon and it still is a pig to drive.  The mods were done by the previous owner.  It does one thing very well.  It provides a great accomodation in my hangar.  I will eventually take it out somewhere and hope for the best I suppose.
