Tires Firestone or Cooper
The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.
Mogu da kazem da sam imao Firestone letnje i jako su dobre.
We have used Firestone Indy 500 on my wife’s Vett. Does auto cross and daily driving very well. They are wearing nicely, and very evenly.
For the price of them, I’m happy with their performance. Sure not as ultimately quiet or dry grip of a conti ecs02 or PS4S. But at way lower price, I can live with that.
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
i drive 2000-2500 miles a year and a set of firestone multihawks lasted me 3 years while driving like an absolute bellend flooring it every chance i got and being hard on the brakes. for £50 a tyre i think i did quite well considering i abused tf out of them.
I'm in Canada but my summer tires are Firehawk Indy 500s and they grip really well, even in the rain. Would definitely recommend.
I live in Wisconsin, used to switch snow tires to summer tires every year on my 2x4 2008 Ford ranger, I just went to the tire shop, asked for snow tires, had the Firestone ones, and some cheap ones off tire rack, both worked fine.
I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
Just bought COOPER ENDEAVOR PLUS for $128.99 per tire from Tirerack. Have not really got a good test for them but going on a road trip this weekend with them. I got them to cut down road noise more than anything.
I currently have a set of Firestones on my car. I hate them. Noisest tire I have ever used, and they are leaving black marks on my garage floor. But they were cheep and that's all I could afford at the time. Never again.
