Anyone running Cooper tires - if so which?

[Cobra Jet]

I always see threads referencing Michelin’s, Yokohama, BFG, NITTO, etc....

Is anyone running Cooper tires and if so, which type? What is your opinion of them?

I'm running the Cooper Zeon RS3-S in a staggered 285/35/19 and 325/30/19 on the SP2 wheels. They aren't as grippy on a straight line dig as the MPS4s, but from a roll they do well. I haven't taken them on many curves, but the few I have been on seem to hold fine. I only have about 200 miles on them, so they are still being broken in.

im running rs3-s as well staggered 275/35/20 and 305/35 im happy with them they hold well on corners they feel planted .. yeah from a roll there grip is great from second gear up im good ...

dang wish they made a 325/30/20 i would have got them for my rears 305 works but more tire is always better

there actually pretty decent in the rain also i got caught in a down pour last week and was on the highway they did great at 65mph

Thanks for the replies, I’ll have to look into them!

Just looking for alternatives to the “common” tires used on the S550. On my prior 2016 S550, the BFG’s and they were good, but just looking for other options.

I've gone through two sets of Cooper RS3-S tires since I bought my car and they have been fantastic in terms of grip, handling, road noise, and especially cost (roughly $1k per set installed at Discount)... They came stock on my Roush Stage 2. The major gripe for me with them is tread life... They are rated for 20k miles (or 10k if you have a staggered set up), but I've only gotten 13k max per set before the belts start showing on the inside of the tires. I need to buy new tires this week and I have seriously been considering dropping the coin to get a set of MPSS (roughly $1600) as I've only ever heard great things about them. I will be going to a square setup this time around (275/35/20 on all 4) which will enable me to rotate them and get the full tread life warranty. Anyone out there driven both the Cooper RS3-S and Michelin Pilot Super Sports that has an opinion on them? I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts... Cheers

I have Cooper RS3-As (UHP All-Season) on my Si they have way more grip than the stock Michelin MXM4s. Treadwear though seems to be an issue. I'll be lucky to get 30k miles out of them on a lighter fwd car square setup.

These tires were SUPER cheap compared to the leading name brands. On sale less than half the price of leading brands.
