The first thing I noticed is the difference in the speed ratings

the Michelin is a 65 mph

The Goodyear is a 75 mph

The Dunlop is a 80 mph tire

I can't see a speed rating on the Double coin.

The RT500, 10R17.5 Double Coin has a speed rating of 75 mph, or a "L" speed rating.

Thanks all for the responses. Couple of questions. What exactly is speed rating? With the Michelin being rated at 65 MPH does that mean you should not go over 65 MPH? Priced the Michelin, $433.00 per tire, OUCH! The Double Coin (DC) tire priced at $254.00 big difference. Is DC tire made in China? Are they any good? I always try to buy made in USA when I can. Thanks for all the help, this forum is the best....

 Made in China. Up to you but I would not put them on my trailer. Open the link Retento sent the go to the bottom of the page and open Resource Center and then open Advertising Flyer # 1.
