@Tonyrodz, I gotta say, after driving on these tires for a few days, I really like them. I like the firmer feel from the Load Range E tires. I am running them at 40 psi and they hold up real well on my 25 mph cloverleaf exit near me, while doing 50 mph thru there. The tires I took off would handle it too but they squealed when I did it and the Cooper's do not. I believe these will do fine in Missouri winters. Now that I have all the work done under the rig, I am considering under coating to help fight the salt on the roads in Mo.
I will be fully retired and can pick and choose when I go out on the roads but I am also aware of the salt residue on the dry roads. I wish I had my own under carriage sprayer, like when you drive in to a car wash. I have no idea of quality repair shops in Warrensburg, Mo. but will do my due diligence and do a search. My other choice will be the place I last ran the shop at in Lenexa, Ks., just across the states border just west of KC, Mo. I know the owner personally and have complete trust in his ASE Master Certified self and his ASE Master techs in the shop. It's about a 100 mile one way trip but my cousin can follow and we still have a vehicle and can go visit my brother in KC, Mo. and other high school friends.
