Used to run Cooper on all my trucks/Broncos in the 1980's/1990's
Great tire---then!
After no longer FTng and time for new shoes I decided to not go with Michelin and get a set of Coopers
Hate them.......will not use Cooper again
They are NOT same Cooper as before
Can't see GY Improving them
On cold mornings they feel square until they Finally warm up then a bit better
They do NOT wear as well as the Michelins did
And had to have tire shop re-balance/rotate on rim/balance and try again
They had a tough time getting them balanced W/O hanging HUGE amounts of weights
Nope.....Cooper are NOT the same Coopers
my experience with Cooper tires has been much the same, I've had sets on different cars and trucks and they have al left me disappointed with wear issues, trouble balancing and poor performance. I'll stick with other brands for now.
