cooper winter tires

unleaded · Oct 22nd, 2002, 05:55 PM

i got a great deal on some studded winter coopers this year - can't wait to throw them on, but they're probably going to be really noisy, even compared with the crappy stock contis. i think that i have to wait until the end of oct to try them. has anyone tried these out?

I picked up some cheapo steelies so i don't trash the factory rims in the snow/sand/salt as well.

No not here live in California don't need studded tires.

I did not have any problem with the stock STONES last winter...But I do hate running the rims in the winter....It makes me cringe...I usually fo out in the drive with a bucket of hot water and get all of the salt off of the rims

So that's why you don't have any brakes for the first couple of stops.

I`m like Willy, I wash my wheels and underneath almost daily and park her in the garage but damn, I will end up with pitted rims, I know that for sure.

They are street legal autocrossing tires.

I been here awhile Rat, just not posting much

Good to see you to.

just get a beat up truck to drive in the winter, definitely cheaper than the snow tires and extra rims (even steelies)

that's what i use my jeep for.

Doesn't look like you could run these in the snow?
They do look like a quiet ride.
