I just bought two new Cooper Roadmaster RM120 all position tires following a blow out with a Goodyear. The blow out came from a tire that had a slow leak previously, so I guess the tire had some unseen damage.
I installed them at the steering. The shop said they sell those for motorhome. The are fine, did not notice much difference from the Goodyear except they seems to be a little smoother.
I am thinking of replacing two more with Kumho steer tires, I would put the Kumho at front and take the two Coopers in the back to match with two Goodyears.
Although Cooper is an American Company, it says Made in China on the tire. I was told it is the same tire as built in USA. I do not think China is something to be scared about when it bares the name of reputable maker and probably all tire makers now have plants somewhere in China or Asia. Same goes with Mexico for a lot of things.
Here is a quote from Michelin web site: "Michelin has 111,306 employees worldwide of 120 different nationalities and produces over 178 million tires in 68 sites in 17 countries".
