They sold us 6 Cooper tires. So far, after 2 years they still look as good as new (of course its only been 2 years but the coach has been sitting a bit more due to the elephant in the room and I wasn't able to cover it for winter like I usually do).
There apparently were some sidewall cracking issues with some of the RV Energy line a few years back. No failures that were documented. RV's tend to run on the underinflated side to use them for air springs rather than truckers that inflate them either to the max sidewall or very close and they stay at the psig for many years and are not checked daily but perhaps monthly

Michelin owns several other brands as you are probably aware of
