Could it be possible the Cooper S doesn't handle as well as the Cooper?? I am in the process of upgrading to 17" Pirellis and had Dunlop 16" on both cars. Is this going to help? The S seems to wander a bit more in hard cornering?? Anyone else experience this??? Coopers All

I've driven the MC w/16" and the MCS w/17"...my preference for handling was the MC w/16". Several test reports I've read were conflicted...although one reviewer I usually believe agreed with me. It's whatever YOU like!

Wherever you go...there you are!

tests on the track show the mc is quicker through the cones...probably has more to do with the weight difference
