Tires Cooper or RIKEN

I personally like Cooper tires, they’ve always delivered the goods for me personally, but that’s not much to go on.

But I will say in general, tires of equivalent price (not on sale) I would generally choose Cooper over Toyo and the primary reason being I find Coopers are a better value for money and Toyos in my personal experience have more road noise than Cooper tires.

I switched to a hybrid highway/gravel tire made by Cooper and sold through Les Schawb after 9 years running ATs on my Sprinter. The difference in road noise is profound.

Out of these options.

Cooper 10/10

Personally, I like Uniroyals but Cooper is good too.

Coopers are WAY better tires than the Uniroyal or Westlake...

The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.

I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.

I’m in eastern Canada, and I’ve had those Motomasters tires that are designed by Cooper. They are pretty good when new. Not as good as Nokians in deep snow, but pretty decent. They wear out quickly however, and the performance degrades significantly as they wear out. They lasted about 25,000km and I could not even get the car moving on a slightly inclined icy driveway.

Buyer beware. Stay away from these Pep Boy exclusive tires. My wife was drawn in by the "buy 3 get 1" promotion and bought the Cooper Adventure tires for her minivan. These are the worst tires that we've ever had. The tires could not be balanced correctly.
