Then the internet algorithm thangy popped these on my feed....
Forgot about the Cooper's. I've been extremely pleased with their off road tires on my 4x4.
Think I'll try a set of these next.
COOPER COBRA RADIAL G/T
14
HTH.
I've got BBS Mahle 14s on the car, and I like them. The draw of larger diameter wheels for me is mainly broader tire choices at this point. But I'm sticking with the 14s for now at least.
I'm in the middle of looking for new tires. The ones on my car have 2005 date codes. They're also summer tires. Even though the car is mainly driven in warmer weather, we have dry days here in the winter that are above freezing but tickle the low 40s in a way that would probably be too cold for summers.
The Pirellis are certainly beautiful, but there's the whole summer thing.
I had Falken 225/60-14s on my first E9, but that was long ago when tire choices in 14" diameter was still a little more robust.
I just went to the Cooper site and searched for 225/60-14 and it came up with no matches. Perhaps this means they've discontinued that size. As you noted Tire Rack lists them in stock, so hurry up! Actually the biggest problem for me with both the Coopers and BF Goodrich's is that they appear to have white letters on the sidewalls. Great for your Camaro but yuck on our cars. Once upon a time many tires came with white letters on one side and black on the other. Obviously this only works for non-directional tires. Anyway, the description of the Coopers on Tire Rack mentions both white and black letter versions. That's why I went to the Cooper site to try and confirm this.
JMinNJ is running General Altimax's and happy with them. I'm pretty close to going down this road.
