New Cooper's

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.

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 Good shit.

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

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.

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

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.
