I'm partial to michelins, but hankook makes an awesome product as well

Well, after much research I have decided to stay with my stock size for way too many reasons! There are just too many down sides to trying to upgrade.....Speedometer, Computers, Body Panels, Space Between Duals....etc.
I also made the decision to go with Hankook after speaking with a ton of people the discussion was very positive on the Hankook side. The Toyo was the next choice but the ride is a little harsher. I am getting them installed in two weeks and I will let you guys know what I think!
I always suggest you do your own research but, I have way too many hours into this one. lol
Brian.....I am watching for some polishing work!

Yes, the AH12's have the best rating for our coaches!

Just put 4 AH12s on the rear of my Bounder diesel in the same size you need 2 trips taken on them the ride is great very quiet I will do them again in 7 years when these age out.

Update: I took the coach in this morning and had my new Hankook Steers install and balanced! They ride great and look good too!
So far I noticed the ride is far better than my older Good Year 670's

On the bright side.....my rears were fully inspected and are in great shape so, they will remain for another year!
After a close inspection on the fronts.....just a little rivering and wear, other than that they look very good!

I think I made a good choice with the Hankook AH12's!

Last Saturday we took MH and a load of Offensive Lineman to a Big on Big tournament. Went ahead and set rig up in parking lot, noticed passenger rear tire was flat. No idea why, not a single scuff on tire, it was just flat. Spent all day(8am to 2pm) calling roadside service guys to come out and fix, could not get a single person to come out, and bet I called 30 places if I called 1.

At end of day, no one ever showed up to fix tire. Got to looking at tire, decided what the heck, put a ratchet strap on it and see it will air up. Sure enough, it aired up fine, drove rig home. All week left rig sitting on tires without jacks down, was curious if tire would go flat again. It stayed full all week, did not even lose a pound of air. No idea why this tire went flat on me last week.

Decided to what the heck, were getting ready to head out for our summer trip, had new Hankook AH-12's put on the fronts this morning. Had one of the fronts put on the back to swap out that tire that went flat last week. In the short ride from Tire Shop to house, Hankook's road really nice, much nicer than the Goodyears that were taken off. Went ahead and saved both old tires, going to keep as a spare for our summer trip. Since I haul a trailer for our Jeep anyhow, have room to store the tires without them being in the way.

My old tires were perfect, yes they were 7 years old, but no cracks, only had 9K miles on them. When off, I looked them over, and had tire shop look them over, both of us could see nothing wrong with them, no signs of cracking, etc. Will sleep better knowing that we have new fronts, even though my wallet is $1K lighter.
