Cooper Endeavor & Endeavor Plus

[Picky1]

Just noticed that Cooper released a couple of new tires the Endeavor (Car/Minivan) and Endeavor Plus (SUV/Truck). Our Subaru Legacy needs new tires and I have run CS5's, Evolutions, and True North on some of my other cars so I will definitely be checking out the Endeavors before I pull the trigger on hew tires for the Subaru.

Does anyone have any experience or feedback on the Endeavors?

I just viewed that ad too. I have a set of CS5 (not Ultra) Grand Touring on my Outlander. Very good tires. From the specs on these two new offerings they seem like replacements for the above.

Good to know.

It appears the Endeavor might be one step above the Evolution based on the Cooper website and their performance chart that compares tires to other Cooper tires.

I like the performance characteristics of my Cooper Evolution Tour tires, I just wish the tread wear was a little better, especially for a 65,000 mile rated tire. I am down to 5/32 tread depth on all four tires after only 20,000 miles.

Had good luck with Cooper Tires in the past and my son is running the Evolutions on our 06 Accord. Has anyone tried the Endeavor Plus, thinking about them for our Sienna.

You should consider all-weather tires. Cooper has the Enduramax, if they're available in your tire size

I had no problems and liked the Cooper tires I had on my previous vehicles, except their evolutions ht.

The problem is these tires are for our Sienna, and like all minivans they are extremely rough on tires. Being that we live in the NE all-weather tires would make perfect sense, but after looking at the various all-weather offerings the majority of the mid-priced tires don't have great treadwear ratings.

What kind of tires are on your Sienna now? And how many miles have you gotten out of them?

Honestly, for a car that will eat tires no matter what, you might just be better off with the cheapest all-weather tires. What is your Sienna's tire size?

In your case, avoid Nokian because they seem to have a short tread life

Currently have General RT43's (235/60/17) that we switch out for snow tires (Cooper TrueNorth). Got less than 32K on the Generals and they are down to the wear bars on all four tires (that is about the same amount of mileage we got on the OEM Firestone 710s and Cooper CS5s). We rotate the tires at every oil change, keep the tires balanced, and even replaced the front struts.

This past spring we ran the snowtires down after this past winter since they didn't have a lot of tread left. To be honest, based on the winters we have had the last 2-3 years snowtires aren't really needed.

The good news is that the Enduramax is available in your size, if you still want to try it. It has a 60k warranty. Unfortunately, the Milestar AW365 isn't available in your size, which is too bad because it's usually the cheapest all-weather tire.

If you don't need or want all-weather tires, Walmart does have the Douglas in your size. The Nitto NT421Q is a good price and has a 75k warranty.

Or you could get these cheap Radar tires for only $56 each. Even after installation cost, you're still under $300 for a set of 4, so you won't be as upset if they don't last very long
