    EBay has Cooper tires from Discount direct.
    7% off for a total of $292.95 each.
    Curious if anyone had any experience dealing with them this route. Problems with tires buyer pays shipping back.

    Wasn't planning buying there certificate, just deal with there prorate plan.
    Just not sure if you have problems with tire, you can't just go to one of there stores.


    Any in sure on this?

    That's what I figured since AT is there stores.
    Just some reviews people complaining on customer service but not specifying on over the iPhone to coprate or there stores.

    I never really had any problem with any of there tires YET.

    Call Deaver, tell them what your truck build is and what use you want out of the leafs. Get leafs. Put about 200#-300# worth of sand bags from Home Depot in the bed, drive around for a week or two, return sand bags to HD. Enjoy broken in leaf springs

    Nah that's BS, unless they switched it up on the expo 2.0s, AP has always used Deaver springs. When I ordered my original expos from them a few years back I had to wait for "Deaver to ship them to us".

    Again, calling BS. Every time I called AP with a question about my expos they recommended I call Deaver. And they straight up told me at their shop they were from Deaver. Maybe it was just that run of springs, I dunno.

    dont gotta call BS, I was quoting them. they used to use the same supplier as deaver. maybe deaver bought the facility they used to purchase from. In another thread I could not find, when they were designing the Expo (before your dirty ass could bug them about suppliers) they said that they tried deaver and didnt like them. So I was shocked that they would move to them after they hated on them. But who knows, I have a guy there now, I will ask when I bug him about leveling me out the next time I am driving through that LA shitbox.

    If deaver is making them now, still not deavers spec, is allpro spec. Not a custom. Deaver has a expo that I tried first that is not a custom and it did not work for my weight.

    Soooo, if deaver is making allpro then two things, one is that is GREAT news, and two you should go straight to deaver because you are paying two people for the same product.
