Tires FEDERAL or Cooper

I'm on my second set of those exact Coopers on my Mitsubishi Lancer sportback. They've been great. I got 50k miles out of the first set with no issues.

I run these on my daily but my daily commute is 8-9 miles total so I just deal with the tire noise. But it is very noticeable. They are rated at 200TW so don't expect the same mileage as a PS4S. 7 to 10K is the average a lot of people report seeing out of the RS-RR

For the money nothing will grip as hard. That being said they need some heat in them to get the most out of them. I run them hard on track and they put a smile on my face. I'm not breaking track records so, again, for the money, great value.

As others have said - great tire for the money. I've had mine for almost a year now of daily driving and approximately 80\~ autocross runs. They behave like other 200tw tires but lack the ultimate grip the better ones have.

I run them on my Mk6 Golf R in STH. I would not recommend daily driving on them as they are very loud. They do have excellent dry grip but not the best as others are noting in this thread. These are a great starter tire if you aren't looking to get the best edge in equipment, or a good change of pace if you want to challenge yourself to be a better driver.

I have them, run them on my ES miata, couldn't be happier with their performance on the course. I've heard the re71r is a bit more predictable with stepping out and I would believe that. Also, for daily driving, these things hum like there is a cessna flying low behind you. I have won ES Class in one of the events I ran them in against 6 or 7 others.

i have SST pro. best bang for the buck.

Go with the Cooper STT Pros. I had them on my Liberty in 32s and now on my XJ in 37s. Awesome tire, I daily drive my XJ so wet street traction was a big thing for me. I've had no issues in the snow, wet, dry, mud, sand, rocks. They are also a very quiet tire. They'll last a while too.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s 235/65/17 I tried the same tire in 235/70/17 but they rubbed the spring perch up front. America\u2019s Tire has great Black Friday deals and they price matched any online store as well. The tire technicians were great with doing the test fitting as well.

Feds are okay budget performance tires IMO. There's a fair bit of trade offs too. Grip isn't as good as PSS or even DWs IMO, though with the latter the difference isn't that great. Despite lower grip levels mpg was worse.

I was always a Michelin fan until I started dealing with Cooper/Mastercraft tires in 2010 or so. Haven't put anything else on a car. I'm not pleased by the Cooper CTS I put on my moms car but those will be warrantied no problem.
