Cooper CS4 tires are very good... Douglas ANYTHING are crap. Cheap walmart crap that should be sent to a concrete plant and BURNED!!!

They're using an old school lug pattern, and rating their wear out warentty way up. Walmart will just say that the alignment's off, and since they dont do them, they cant give you replacement tires (even pro-rated...) They will NOT honor the wearout warentty unless you really raise hell and talk to management.

Very soft (cheap) tread, and very thin sidewals. Go to walmart, and feel the difference between their douglas tires, and michilens (or any other "real" tire brand)

I worked at farm and fleet, and would hear complaints about the tires being very "greasy" from customers who bought two at walmart, and had different tires on the frount... We'd put thoose crappy tires on the back, and some cooper lifeliners or uniroyal tigerpaw AWP 2's on there, and they'd be happy.

If you're looking for a good deal on tires, I really like the uniroyal tigerpaw AWP 2's that we sold... 70,000 mile wearout, and they were way cheaper then michilens...

Dont get me started on walmart's torquing policy either. In addition to using anti-seize on studs, they (in the name of speed) dont always "start" the lugs onto the studs, and strip them. They will NOT replace them, their official policy is "they were old, old studs break or get stripped"

Using them on an MB is horrible... Get a real set of tires on there asap, and pawn your junk on some used tires store that buys tires... Or at worse keep them around and remind yourself not to buy them...
