I bought a set of sumitomo htr zIII .. absolutely love em!!
Nice. I've seen and heard nothing but good things. It is odd then that there is no one running these. I think I'm going to give them a try. My stock advans are hurting after 10k miles and 4 track days, and if I can get even close to that with the Coopers I'll be happy. Won't be till the spring, but I'll post some pictures when I buy them and do a little review on how the perform at the track.I don't have any exp, personally, but my pops works at a ford dealer and builds mustangs. He told me for the price they are the best tires. (he runs them on all the mustangs he builds.) Nice looking tread too. I'm kinda surprised they haven't been more mainstream in the evo community as well
I can't find this review, do you remember about when this came out?They got a good review in Modified magazine
^ this and check the ratings on tirerack. i go off tirerack ratings when I buy tires I dont know about, they have never let me downThey got a good review in Modified magazine
Its the January 2012 issueI can't find this review, do you remember about when this came out?
I agree, but Tirerack doesn't sell Cooper. I think they rely mainly on smaller tire shops, as they have sold predominantly replacement tires. I have a local place that has been great to me that sells them, but I do wish Tirerack sold them so I could read some reviews.^ this and check the ratings on tirerack. i go off tirerack ratings when I buy tires I dont know about, they have never let me down
I wouldn't believe they would wear faster than any other high performance tire. Track driving will wear any tire faster than DD, but the Cooper was built for this eventuality.I have these and I was wondering if I could auto-x/track them or if they would wear down really fast. The car is predominantly my daily
Nice. That's all I wanted to hear.I wouldn't believe they would wear faster than any other high performance tire. Track driving will wear any tire faster than DD, but the Cooper was built for this eventuality.
Post your thoughts of how they performed and how much they did wear after a couple events if possible.
