New Cooper's

[SolPol]

Picked up some new Cooper's over the weekend. Supposed to be a new model. Zeon2XS or something. Got my roommate mounting the last two today. I have studded snows on the stock 14s right now and these are 205/45/16s. I can't wait.

Here's what they look like. Supposed to be the highest rating all around.

Good looking tire.. Let us know how you like them.

[SolPol]

Yeah man. Should be putting them on tonight or tomorrow. As soon as it's nice. That's gonna be one fun test drive.

i thought you were talking about the british car. ;) well the tire looks nice

[SolPol]

Well sure, I'd take a mini too. We got a few of them around the campus where I work. They look like so much fun. No one here put the flags on top though. You gotta do that if you get a mini. A nice union jack on top :yes: Good shit.

On tires, does anyone know about the new tire rating system they have?

looks like a real prime tire...whats the cost of it?
how does it stack up to the goodyr f1 ('cause I know it also recieved really high marks)?

[MAXed Out]

the tires look nice let us know how they are after you test them.

I got them for $85 a piece. Really popular size so they are more. My other roommate got two 235/55/16 and they were only $70.

I dunno how they stack up against the Goodyears. I will be putting them on this weekend since we have all this rain here now.

I've gotten the Nitto NT450s a few times and I'm amazed how much more tread these Cooper's come with.

My buddy just gto a set of those for his show teg... and hes goin to havwe them on his car when Carlisle show is.. but so far the Cooper tire reps. really love his car so there thinking of sponsiering him and maybe have his car in there catalogs from wat they are saying. hopefully that would be sweet...

[SolPol]

That would be awesome. How's he like the tires?

[SolPol]

Ok, got them on. They rule. I recommend highly. :yes:

[pdiggitydogg]

hows the road noise?

[SolPol]

Oh, not bad at all. Handle well, good feel for the road. You gotta understand I had studded snows on up until now. But it's a world of difference. Also went from 14 to 16 with the switch, but I'm really liking them :yes:

[DumbMoFo]

$85 each? Nice.

Yeah, I get pretty good deals from a local guy. Sells them out of his house, but it's listed as a local retailer for Cooper.
