These tyres replace a set of Bridgestone Turanza ER300, and while there were good I much prefer these. And cost has a part to play, The ER300 are very expensive and I would argue the Coopers do exactly the same. Have been on over a year now and still got plenty of life. Wet grip is great feel completly safe with these. Their on the front at the moment so will have them moved to the back and get a new set of CS6 on the front before winter sets in. I wish our roads were better because on fresh tarmac their so quiet. Defo buy again.
Would swear by them on my 308 diesel, 20k out if the front upto now, granted I do a lot of motorway driving. Had Kuhmo on before and there was 1 roundabout they would break free on every time if was wet but these Cooper have been outstanding, can go into it a lot faster. Dry grip is excellent dont realy find issues with noise, no concern.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
I chose these over the usual budget tyres and so far I've been very impressed.
Dry grip is impressive and predictable. They are very sure-footed through standing water and in wet or greasy conditions. They make a passable winter tyre.
Feedback is a little slow... though a lower profile might offer more feel... but the Coopers are progressive and stable. They never spring any nasty suprises.
The tyres are comfortable and provide a smooth and quiet ride. In cold weather they do get noticeably firmer.
Tyre wear may vary with the season. I imagine tyre wear may increase when it's hot out there .. but seems reasonable so far.

Despite all the negativity against Pirelli P6000s, I've always got on well with them and went to get them from Just Tyres only to come away and find they had fitted me with these Coopers, promising me that they were of comparable compound and design for the same price.
15000 miles later they're at their legal limit, 10-15k less than I get out of the P6000s. Not impressed in the slightest.
Fitted 4 of these as they were a good price. I was a bit weary as I have never heard of the brand and I detest "budget" tyres (you get what you pay for in my view). However, there were a few decent reviews around.
Happy to review that these are very able all round performers. In the wet and dry, the tyres are very stable, not had any nasty surprises. The best thing about them in my opion is their progressiveness!! They let you know when they are about to lose adhesion. The downsides are that they can be a bit noisy on certain road surfaces at motorway speeds. The steering also feels a little numb, so lacking in feedback. However, if like me, the car is a commuter vehicle - no problems.
They have been on the car now for 2-3000 miles and there is very little wear.
A great touring tyre - recommended!!
These tyres are excellent, I can't recommend them enough. Grip was outstanding in wet and dry. put 4 on the car at around 88000, still going strong when I sold the car at 106000. Fronts were wearing a bit, but to be expected on a torquey diesel car. They would still have done another 6k at minimum I think. Not bad for £85 a corner vs Sport Contact 3's at £130 per corner. Easily as good - a tad noisier, but that's it. (I have used both).
I may have just been unlucky but after fitting 4 new Zeon CS6 within 5k miles I had to replace 3 due to bulges in the side wall and I am very careful to avoid pot holes. Have not experienced bulges in a side wall for decades so I'm suspicious that these tyres are not up to handling UK roads. Now fitted Khumo instead.
A recent tyre test rated these fairly badly in their braking test. I disagree. Fantastic tyres these are. Great cornering, great grip. Braking has been as good as leading brands from my experience. I will buy these again.
Never heard of them before, so a bit concerned. But found them to be some of the best I have had.
About £80.00 per tyre was close to the more known brands, time will tell if durable, but so far lots of rain cold as well as hot and sunny conditions has made me comment for the first time ever.
Went in for a pair of Avon ZV5 which I have used before on a C-class with no problems but had a pair or Coopers fitted in their place as they are supposed to be same compound etc. They left the car twitchy at the back end and I had the traction light on more in a few day than the whole of last winter. Went back to KMCentre who kindly agreed to change them and changed back to Conti 2 as they only had these or budget in stock, so I just paid the difference.
Whilst on the car they were fine in the dry, but quite noisy and I imagine they would be quite long lasting, but I appreciate not every tyre brand suits every car.
No screeching when pushed hard on dry, still holds well.
Need to be pumped a bit hard to have better handling else will be a little bouncy round the corners. Feels that the car much willing to move forward will monitor if better fuel efficiency recorded.
Wet handling good but not the best.
Noise level is good
Signs of wear very minimal even after 10,000+km

Superb grip and handling in both dry and wet, straight aquaplaning good too, even copes with soft ground crossing fields remarkably well. Not the most rigid carcass, needed a couple of extra PSI to bring the feel up to my Nokian WR-G2 winter tyres (which are AWESOME!), feel not the sharpest, but still good enough to cope with wiggly dodgy roads and have some fun. Braking very good both dry and wet, wear very good. To sum up, a very good allround summer tyre, maybe not quite the sportiest, but the best compromise I think I've found, recommended.
