Cooper Evolution Winter, Anyone used them?

[JoelB]

I've been looking at 15" winter tires for my Accent and I've mainly been shopping the Blizzak WS90, Michelin X-ice snow and Nokian Hakka R5. I noticed Discount tire had a sale on these coopers and I couldn't believe the price. $445 mounted and balanced with tax. That's $170 cheaper than the Michelins which are also on sale.

I don't expect them to perform as well as my 3 top choices but reviews seem to show they are a solid choice. Anyone run these tires?

Have a set for wife's Prius. They do fine in the snow/ slush/ black ice. Also well behaved as far as noise, balance. Got them from DTD.

Yes , the Evolution Winter ( Goodyear ) are very good tires for the price . Get ours with studs . Use(d) them on the '13 FIT and '18 Accent for past 6 years or so . Thinking of purchasing MASTERCRAFT Glacier Trex with studs or possibly HERCULES Avalanche RT w/ studs . All 3 have many deeps sipes and are studdable for extra bite . The pattens are somewhat similar as well . I think all 3 are related , particularly the MASTERCRAFT ( Goodyear ) . If you wait until next month you may see rebates from all 3 .

If you use search TIRES AND WHEELS you should find other pictures of all 3 winter tires .

It appears that the Evolution Winter are studable tires, so they are going to perform a lot better on ice then regular non-studable winter tires. We have a set of Michelin X-Ice snow which work very well on our Subaru. Studded ties are not permitted in Michigan.

These EVOLUTION Winter are for the FIT . Very good on ice and in snow . Scroll down for pictures .

Best winter tires I’ve ever owned!

Well, the time has now come to say goodbye to winter tires that I never dreamed would last this long. Seven years ago, Cooper Dicoverer stud capable tires were put on my CRV. And remarkably, they performed for seven winters. They were also left on for two summers during this seven year.period...
