Honestly, I'd take Cooper over Kelly without hesitation... Not that I have a problem with Kelly, but I have a lot of experience with Cooper and currently have them on my daily driver.
They were great for me. Looked awesome and held up for 40k miles or so.
The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.
Handling wise they were excellent, although, i havent tried a more premium tire on those rims yet, but in terms of the continentals i had as summer tires on a 15" rim before i upgraded they are WAY BETTER around corners, but that comes from there being alot less sidewall than the 15" with the continentals, i can take way steeper turns faster then what i could with the smaller rim.
I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.
So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.
Recently got a set of Sailun AT light truck 275/70r18’s…definitely budget tires & definitely quality tires ie good bang-for-buck
Have about 1000 miles on the Cooper Endeavors 18" rims on my Accord Coupe. Really like the diminished road noise, consistent road feel in wet and dry conditions only issue is that they are mushy when coming out of a pothole tend to slide a little.
I've never ran a car tire but I have had several sets of cooper cobras on a squarebody I rebuilt and my favorite I've ever ran was there STT mud tire. I could get around 55-60k miles out of those and they were aggressive with very little road noise for a mud tread. Unfortunately they quit making that style.
I got 50,000 on a set of these and never rotated them. They were howling pretty bad because of it, and totally my fault. I went in to replace them and the tire shop said I had plenty of tread to go farther, I just couldn't stand the howl anymore.
I put some cheap all seasons on my Fiesta ST (sailuns) and they were fine until it snowed and it was like I was trying to drive on summer tires in winter. Then they couldn't handle a single pothole, within a year I tossed the whole set because I blew one out and saw I had a bubble in two other tires on the insides from potholes.
