Cooper Tires

Can anyone out there give me first-hand experience with Cooper tires on their RV?
I have a small, older class A that needs tires. The Michelins on it are 11 years old, and since I only use this MH on very short, infrequent trips I didn't want to spend more for tires than the RV may be worth.
I am looking at the Cooper 22570R19.5 Roadmaster RM170 Load Range G.
Rated to carry much more than this old MH weighs.

Any comments appreciated.
Thanks,

  • Cooper Roadmasters, 247/70/19.5, put on about 18 months and 5,000 miles ago. I noticed a definite improvement in smoothness (the OE Goodyears were egg shaped and always bounced) and the Coopers balanced easily with little weight.

    I would definitely use them again.
  • I have had the Cooper Road Master tires for 2 years now and no issues. Buy what fits your needs. The Coopers do the job just fine IMHO.

  • I put 19.5 Cooper tires on my previous motorhome and they were fine.
  • Probably should stick with Michelin's then, that way you can have tires made by a French company. LOL

  • I put new 19.5 inch tires on my Fleetwood last year and ended up going with Sumitomo. They are made in Japan, and are a very good tire. And they were considerably less than Michelin.
  • Should have done my website homework before publishing the question.
    Didn't have a tire to look at, MIDNIGHTSADIE, but Cooper's website says they are made in their Cooper plant in China. They are branded ROADMASTER, with "engineered by Cooper" also on the sidewalls.

    Don't want a China-made tire.
