I've shared my story on this board before about my very disappointing experience with Dickman's. I found their salesman Paul, who I believe has retired, to be unethical. (I told him my three conditions for the purchasing of 8 tires, one was that they be under 6 months of age. He did explain that age was not important, and that they could not guarantee the age. I said that tire shops had ordered tires from the warehouse with a condition to pull 6 month and younger tires. And that to me as an RV owner, the date stamp age of the tire was important. That we'd have to agree to disagree about the importance of tire dates. He took the order, and my deposit. He also updated a comment on the invoice about 'No guarantee of tire age.' And then he never emailed me the copy of the invoice, as he said he would. (If he had, which he should have that same day, or the next. I would have canceled the order based upon that comment. And gone up the management tree to point out the Paul had done this without telling me he was going to. And should never had accepted my order, when he knew that under 6 months of age was 'what the customer wanted'.) Tires came in, and after me needing to call him back two different times - he finally went out and looked and confirmed that all of the tires were over 6 months of age, one was about year old. I could not get into the shop in person, never have been to their shop, as we'd run out of state for a medical issue for my MIL. (Would have returned to the shop for the tires, if they had been what I asked for.) For several months I tried to work things out with the stores Manager, being preached out a few times about how ignorant us RV owner's are about tires. And how wonderful he was, as he and Dickman's used to provide tires to Country Coach, and I believe he said Monaco too. The final straw, after me disputing the deposit with American Express, due to the merchandise not meeting a condition of my order - was in writing to American Express - he called me a liar.) So, needless to say I do not recommend Dickman's. And it was really a shock to me, after all of the positive comments I'd read by other CC owner's about this specific shop. I will not reward, or recommend, businesses that I've had personal experience with at being unethical. (And this was an abbreviated repeating of my experience with Dickman's.)
No problems with LS itself, and while I don't use Toyo tires - I know many RV owner's that are pleased with their performance, and price. I also feel at the Tier 2 & 3 levels, that Hankook tires are worth considering. And know of some owner's that run Michelin on their steers, and Hankook or Toyo on the rear's/tag's.
Best of luck to you,
Smitty
