I'm running Hankook DynaPro AS tires 235/85/16 and like them alot. I've got a couple thousand miles on them now and they both ride and look great.

That's what we put on our coach also. Very happy with them .
X2
Traction on the back, rib on the front. Down side is it now has some sway up front given the polyester sidewalls (vs the old steel belted sidewalls.) Upside is the ride softened.
If I had to do it again, I would keep the same setup on the back, but maybe shop around for steel sidewalls for the steering tires.

We have the all weather tread on all six. the ride is as good as can be expected from a stock F53 chassis and better then the Goodyears that were on the coach.

Cooper's could be found nowhere so I went with Hankook RH03, very happy with the tires so far. And they are made in South Korea not CHINA!

I called a few places about cooper tires and they all said they are back ordered for about 6 weeks due to the demand in India and China. We are slowly becoming a third world country!

Hmmmm. So the dealers are saying there are lots of motorhomes in India and China that need American-made Cooper tires???
More likely that in this economy the manufacturers are keeping inventory levels low, or even non-existant, especially on slower moving product - like motorhome tires.
To the O.P. - I have Toyo Open Country tires on my Class A and I find them to have a smooth, quiet ride.
