I have Cooper Evolution Winters that are studdable. Huge fan of them and have never gotten stuck in the Wisconsin winters before.
I’ve used Nankang plenty of times on my older cars, they were fine. Drove fine in wet, drove fine in dry, no louder than any other tires.
We have a set of Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT on my wife's OB and they've been excellent. We don't do anything crazier than fire roads and trailheads but they perform admirably and are fairly quiet on road.
I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.
Coopers are great tires, I had some on my old WRX and they lasted forever. I live in oregon and ran these tires through quite a few seasons no problem
I have these, got em on sale for cheap so I figured I'd give them a shot. Drove them in like 6" inches of snow with no issues, been through some mean rainstorms with no issues, and over the summer. Been on them for almost a year so far and no complaints for how I am driving on them (Mostly just daily duty, occasional twisties).
i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.
In my limited experience with them i'd say that they are marginally better than Toyo's r888r over a single lap but require some tuning set up to not overheat.
I'd steer clear of the Cooper Discoverer. I had a set that did not seem to last as long compared to the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.
Last Coopers I bought at Walmart. Rode so hard, no give to them.
