Cooper makes some fantastic tires. I run the Zeon LTZ on my Ram, and the rain/snow performance is awesome.
He immediately switched to the cooper's st Maxx tires. He has had this truck a 1 year maybe a year and a half and has already destroyed the 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty. These tires went on when the truck was still pretty much new.
Compared to the Toyos, on the street, they are night and day difference! I can now accelerate and not have the rear end slipping or hopping around in the rain. Also, I find the tires to be a little bit quieter than the Toyo's.
I run Nitto 555 G2's during all but winter, and this year I went with Pilot Sport A/S3+ all-seasons (due to frequent driving in mild snow during work trips) and I'm quite happy with them.
I daily Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Focus SVT. They are so worth it. Yeah they wear out after 10-12k miles but they have like a 30k or 40k mile warranty so I get a new set of PSS's every year for like $150.
You can drive them in the rain like it isn't raining at all.
Sport Cup 2's are great tires, I have them on my RS. If I could do-over though, i would go with PS4S. Sure, they "technically" aren't as fast around a track, but for the 99.9% of street miles you put on them they are much more livable on a daily driver.
A good set of PS4s tires is more than enough for a daily. You wont have problems with rain or dry traction.
I am running X Ice3 on the stock Austin wheels for the second winter now and have had no problems in Western PA. We don't get much snow per se, but the car feels confident in snow and ice, in particular stopping and turning.
I put on a full set of Michelin XIce3 P205/55R16 with steel rims just before the first big snow hit and I'm glad I did. There's nothing like having a proper set of winter tires.
Once Old Man Winter came knocking, I found a set of 18” Talladega take-offs from a ‘13 Golf R locally on Craigslist and fitted with Michelin Alpin PA4 (225/40/18). Dry and wet winter handling is fantastic - feels like spring or fall.
