Thanks I'll remember that.

 

I just replaced the oem 16's with these...(cooper cs4) So far I love them, they handle great and are very quiet. I've always had good luck with coopers in the past, I could never afford michelin's. The cs4's seem like would be just as nice as a michilin. The cs4's are New tires and don't have many reviews, But MotorTrend really liked them. I originally was leaning toward's another set of 16 oem firestones because they seemed quiet, and wore nicely. But they kind of scared me in the rain, and had not driven them in the snow yet (Bought hhr used). Anyway the Cooper cs4's handle great and really change the personality of my HHR. I've never had a tire handle this good in the rain. Very happy so far, I'll post some snow reviews soon. Also these tires got rid of my 75mph SHAKE that could'nt be fixed or found. I paid $423.00 out the door after a $50 rebate, from a great local tire shop.

 

I am running the Cooper CS4, they are probably the smoothest tire that i am ever drivin on, i absolutly love them.

 

After being in the tire business for 18 years I've had the chance to test just about every brand, (major and private). I've always been impressed with Cooper ;even when Pirelli had their stinkin hands in the mix. Problem is being told by the corporate big wigs to lie to customer about Cooper and their quality in order to sell the more exspensive Goodyear or Michelin. Well since I dont work for that dishonest company anymore I will tell you Cooper is a very good quality tire at a fraction of the cost, cheap enough that you dont even need to buy an extra warranty because defect issues are nearly zero and if you have a non-repairable road hazard they are cheap enough to just buy a new one.

 

I just changed out my 08's tires with these Michelins. The difference in drive and handling is remarkable. And traction in the rain is incredible. They were a little pricey but I've never been cheap when buying tires.

 

Hey I finally got rid of the maypop tires i have been driving on and went to LesSchwab and ended up getting OHTSU ZEXIUS xi427 can sombody please help are they worth a crap.All I can find out online is that they are or were the same as some other brand I cant remember what they were called. but they ran me about $650-660 instaled

 

I have to say... these coopers are like velcro in the rain! Seriously, wet roads are were these tires really show their worth. If you live in a wet area, you have to check the cs4's out. I can hardly get these to spin. Very happy so far, Still waiting for snow, but I have a good feeling these tires will perform as expected!
