8R19.5 Double Coin tires ( just purchased )
I did a search on the net for Double Coin tires and found a few truckers that liked them, not much else. I though a post here might help someone else down the road. I bought 6 of the Double Coin R...

I had to buy Double Coin 8R19.5 RT600's once on the road when I didn't want to wait for the dealer to ship something else in. Put them only on the fronts due to the old tires having sidewall blowouts but the rears were fine.
Later, spent quite a while researching DC the company. Turns out they've been around since the '30s and have a good reputation in Europe for quality. Mostly they make large truck tires.
I kind of expected the tires to only last 20,000 miles based on the low cost but I was surprised when I took them off because I had 36,000 on them. So they turned out to be a ~40K mile tire. As steer tires. Probably would have gotten more if they'd been on the rears.
As far as ride goes, yeah they aren't as soft as a traditional 'RV' tire, but I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in ride anyway because my RV has airbags.
Yeah, I'd buy them again.
