What in the world is your point?

Just info for thought. Most people think of Cooper as a US company, which they were. Cooper tire was the second largest U.S.-based tire company, after Goodyear. This move made Goodyear the only major US tire manufacturer. Cooper still has plants in the US, so lets hope their quality does not start to decline. Cooper has been known to product some excellent tire products.

The Roadmasters are made in China...having said that, I haven't heard anything bad about them...except that.

Probably just a FYI thing.

Been running them since 2005.

We put them on our coach in '11 (295/75/22.5) to replace some timed out Bridgstones, I'm very happy with the ride and handling. Pretty significant savings over the Michelin or Goodyear tires.

I've had Coopers on my pickups and also on a 95 Bounder that did a cross country trip towing a car and have never had a problem with any of them....

My last set of tires I had on my truck lasted 62,000 miles.
I always took them in to be rotated X style!

As far as passenger tires go, they are great. But not sure about larger ones.
