I have experience with the Douglas all seasons on a wide range of vehicles. I personally don't like them them, due to the fact that I always seem to end up with at least one with a broken belt. On top of that,Yes, back when dunlops were my go to. But they did wear fast if anything was out of line…
I am a fan of coopers, I have cs4 and cs5 in my fleet, and recently got their latest on my 350sd….
my new 190d needed tires and I was in Nevada, not much supply in the now obsolete size. Walmart in Henderson had them in my required size, made in usa, and I’ve been happy with them…. I’d recommend them for any vehicle that rides comfortably. Not sure if they would be too soft if you want a firmer tire and ride…
The prices that op cited sound awfully expensive for that size…
Not just because of the low cost of the Douglas that I’ve bought recently, but also the cooper endeavors that I’ve also bought recently in a larger size. Mounted, OTD…
Even on the front of my 85 Mercedes 190d, (a rear wheel drive car that only weighs 2600 pounds) they didn't even make it to twenty thousand miles before reaching the wear bars. At this point, I would rather run the 38 year old oem spare then purchase them again. The only tire that I think is worse than the Douglas all season is the general altimax artic 12.
