I know they're made by Cooper and are their lower level product line.

I'm looking at a set of 4 for my wife's Golf. They're on special at our local Fleet Farm, by 3 get one free and come out to a total of $309 including mounting/balancing/disposal/taxes. They 50k mi H rated tires which is what the OEM book calls for on her vehicle.

So any opinions on these tire/brand.
I have had them on my 1995 Taurus for years now...about 25,000 miles with no issues.

You should experience it on a motorcycle...
