Nexen Roadian HTX RH5 or Cooper Discoverer HT3

[freddmc]

Does anyone have any experience with these tires. Tire Rack has the Nexen and Tread Depot has the Coopers.
And speaking of Tire Rack (or the other on line retailers for tires) how has it worked out where you buy them online and they ship them to a local tire store for mounting and balancing. It seems to me the local dealer wouldn't be too crazy about mounting tires that you bought from someone else instead of them or do they just look at it as incremental business.

In the absence of empirical evidence (although it sounds like Bird Freak has had all the evidence he can take), I tend to gravitate toward brand names I can actually pronounce and aren't nonsense words.

Nexen Roadian? What the heck is that???

I bought Goodyear tires from a large online retailer and took them to a local installer. The tires were barely within limits of being round. Never could get them balanced well. No response for warranty. Have never purchased online again. Buying local pays dividends when you need assistance. The cost difference wasn't significant by the time you drive away with new tires, especially if you are spending time returning for a rebalance or replacement tires.

I put two Nexens on the back of my truck and 4 on my 5er at the suggestion of my dealer. Rears on truck were worn out with in 15K miles and had two blow outs on 5er with in 5K miles. Took the others off and junked. trailer tires had only worn 1/32 tread off and Nexen refused any warranty. All were LT tires.
They are junk tires.

Cooper tires have been around for many years unlike the other brand.

The Cooper Discoverer HT3 LT replace the old Cooper SRM II LT tires which I have used off and on for years on my trucks and trailers. If the Discoverer HT3 LTs are as good as the SRM II then Copper has another winner IMO.
