Coopertires

Hi lads,

Anyone got any experience with these? This is more out of curiosity than anything else as I've seen them advertised a lot recently and they tend to command a fairly high price.

They used to be made by Bridgestone, not a bad brand.

I`m not sure of any bridgestone connection,but they are an American company with over 60 plants worldwide,and have had joint ventures with Kumho & Kenda.
More significantly,they have owned AVON outright since 1997,so there is probably some tech crossover there.
Tyres are similarly priced to Avon,and also A Wet rated.

use them on the landrover, excellent tires, got 110k km out of the last set, still had 7mm tread left when we changed them, good road holding as well

They've owned Avon Tyres outright, but not Avon Rubber itself (unless this has changed since my family stopped working for them) years ago they used to puncture/suffer road damage very easily, I can remember my dad's vectra chewing threw quite a few sets
