How did they spin balance them at your lot?

I guess centramatics would make it unnecessary?

Bead balance.

Cooper RM272's are worth considering. Quieter than the OEM Michelin's.

Using that site, Michelins are less expensive than Continentals. Neal are your tires 305/70’s ?

My experience with Cooper, which admittedly has all been on jeeps and 4x4 pick-ups, is that they are cheaper and do the job, but they don’t wear well compared to more expensive brands such as BFG. I don’t know how their truck tires hold up but I wouldn’t roll the dice on them for my coach. I looked at Toyo and Continental as alternatives but ended up sticking with Michelin.

As did I. There’s just something comforting about the Michelin tires IMHO.
