Cooper Tyres

Anybody used them- spec. the Zeon 4XS.

Need to get one put on my X5 today after...an incident.

Haven't personally, tied in with Avon IIRC.

[sawman]

they are pretty big in the states, I used to have cooper discoverer AT tyres on my cherokee in Canada, they were fine. I think they are part of the same company as Avon,

I've been using Cooper Cobras and Lifleiners for a few years now.



They're alright.

Yes, got them on the Honda. Seem decent enough for the price, as mentioned part of Avon.

Other way round - Avon are owned by Cooper.

Well, the Zeon 2XS didn't review well, maybe the 4XS is twice as good?

Do you really trust that site? It always amazes me that people can give good/bad scores based on a few miles with a new tyre compared to what could have been a 10 year old 0.9mm tyre that they replaced it with.

Well the 4XS is designed (according to the man on the phone) for RRS, Q7's and ML's, so big bits of metal.
Cheers all.

Hopefully it'll teach me to crash into the bint not paying attention, rather than swerve into the kerb.
