Perfect fitment.

Work out the cost if you buy these in the USA the current price is USD$1860 plus bank conversion of .73 approx. = AUD$2547 + Freight Air $700 approx. + s/duty 5% + 10% GST = AUD$3750. (They are not duty exempt as they are not manufactured in the USA)

About a week ago I fitted Cooper RS3-A tyres to my ecoboost as replacements for the original Pirelli PZeros.
The 'A' is for all weather. They make an 'S' (sports) version, I'm not sure if it's available in Australia, but I wanted the all-weather due to the high rainfall and slippery roads around where I live. Mine is an everyday drive.
I have had Coopers on two previous vehicles (one current) and found them to be good performing tyres. particularly when it comes to tyre life. I got 70K on a set fitted to a Forester GT.
I knew I was going to get long life from the Coopers on the Mustang but I was preparing myself for a downside in grip and road noise. I needn't have worried - the Coopers grip just fine and have the same noise levels ( to my hearing) as the Pirellis. The main difference I experience is a more assured road feel, probably due to the stronger walls on the Coopers. I also get a more comfortable and compliant ride.
Unless you're a professional driver all this stuff is subjective, particularly when you're not testing them side by side, but this is the experience I'm feeling.
The previous week I tested the Pirellis on the track at Winton and found them to be excellent at the extremes - I have not tested the Coopers like this so I cannot do the full comparison. I have a bit of tread left in the Pirellis so I've kept them to sacrifice at the track another day.
I've driven the Coopers in the wet once and they felt surefooted, but I want to give them a full work out before I pass final judgement.
You pay around $350 each for the Coopers and at this stage I can say they are outstanding value - even without the extra life they offer. The Pirellis were good for about 30K.
I'll update this in a few months. Just ask if you want to see pics of them fitted.

Update on Cooper RS3A's.
Really liking these tyres. I've done 1500k on them and they have lost the slick surface and gripping very well. No worries in the wet. No balancing problems. I'm hoping to get 40K + from them.
