What do you all know about these tires ? I have never heard of them before.
I got a phone call from a salesman that sold us a used van this fall . The previous owner had a set of rims and winter tires for it if I was interested ,$500.00 at 90% .
I agreed to buy them on the premise that they would be as good as the van and not even a discussion about brand . Once I saw them I would say they are 98% and the black wheels are still near perfect .
The only dealers I have found for them are in SW. Mt.

Well ,after 575 looks I guess no one had any more clue than myself.
What I finally learned is these are made by Cooper and most are exported to Asia for truck tires .
They pull decent but my van is sensitive to acceleration going from idle on 3 cylinders and going to 6 so it spins still.

I have a set of Dean tires on my Ram/Cummins. Mine are ATs. Yeah, made by Cooper and sold through Les Schwab. I have about 40,000 miles on them and, so far, I'd rate them as good as Toyos, for a lot less money.
