Starfire Solarus AS All Season 215/55R16 97H XL Passenger Tire

Really happy with these tires. Starfire is a value subbrand of Cooper Tires, an American Company. I have purchased the predecessor to this model, the RS-C 2.0, for the last 5 years and have been really satisfied with ride quality and longevity. I was told the Solarus is the successor, and I can see why - there is only a slight variance in tread pattern, only in the center - the rest is otherwise identical (helps since I bought 2 to accompany my pair of newer RS-C's). The Walmart price on this tire is unbeatable - I just had to order them online, get them shipped to the store, set up an appointment, show up, and 30 minutes later, drive out with new tires. Cooper is an American company. My RS-C's were manufactured in East Asia. These tires were manufactured in Mexico, per the sidewall marking. I determined they are made in a plant in Guadalajara in a plant that also makes Goodyear tires (https://maps.app.goo.gl/qXHjapA7yxbdz6FF6). Jealous that my tires have seen more palm trees than me. ;-P

Good tires for the price. I will try to rotate, mount and balance on a regular basis and maybe maximize the rubber out these bad boys. Or, I'll be bald in 18 months. Time will tell my friend. If I think about it, I'll come back here and update ya'll. These were affordable, this was most important to me. Good Luck!
