na man, I talked to a guy at the tire place and I told him I never heard of this brand. He said its a real good brand and it comes on Bentleys and some other cars like that. But they look cool and stick like hell so i love 'em

Cooper makes some decent tires, probably getting some for my daily driver.

I got Coopers on my Camaro for $70 a piece. They don't grip as good as the Goodyear Eagles it used to have but I needed tires badly and they were dirt cheap. They are a good replacement tire.
