Be alert for QC with Coopers, now that they have been taken over by a manufacturer from India.

I'm glad you said it.

"They" say they aren't going to change anything. Wait 2yrs, we'll see.
I'm guessing they will still be made in US, but might have design engineers in and from India. Turns out the same Indian company owns Vredenstein, which used to be a good Dutch? tire company. There is a saying that a smart Indian can make good money everywhere but India, since politics and bias are REALLY prominent in any career track. (plus the electricity fails all the time). My concern is that the Indian company is HALF the size of Cooper, and is borrowing a ton of $$$. Is this just a way to get $$$ out of India legally? If so they could either be very good to Cooper or try to milk them dry. One thing for sure - I'll bet a lot of Indian tires will now say Cooper even if sold in India or the middle east, etc.as a name brand is still worth money. Just FYI.
Tire making is pretty labor intensive, and not pleasant working conditions. Sounds like the giant sucking sound again.
Comes with a free pair of open toe sandals.

Always suspect of bid'ness deals like this one, the whole thing comes off as sleazy if you ask me.
Of course I hate to see jobs leave the US as those jobs at Cooper pay very decently.
Yep, remember when the mass media, snicked and belittled
Ross Perot when he ran for president and he mentioned NAFTA and the giant giant sucking sound? He was RIGHT!

That's how many people on BITOG roll these days...
Rumors, ranting, bashing and speculation without any actual evidence are par for the course, unfortunately.
I'll wait to see some actual testing and opinions of this new tire before passing judgement.
