Thanks for the input JD. I'll keep this in mind when making a decision on which ones to buy. I've noticed when putting new tires on my other vehicles in the past, they need a break in period before they feel right. Usually a couple hundred miles.

That is right about the break-in process but you also have to consider how old the original tires were. If they were old enough for the rubber to have hardened, plus the tread was worn, putting new tires on, with new softer rubber and a deeper tread have a tendency to squirm, which takes a little getting used to.
Over time, people tend to get used to their old tires and putting new tires on a coach makes it ride different. That is one of the main reasons why people say that their new "whatever tire brand" tires ride better than the hardened rubber tires that they just took off. That does not mean that the new tires are better in the long run, but when you replace hardened rubber tires with new softer rubber tires, there is an immediate difference in the ride.
