Coopers on the Cooper!

Just installed a new set of Cooper All Season Tires on my R50.
Leave it to an OCD owner to appreciate Cooper brand tires on a Cooper!
166,000 miles and going strong!
Cheers





Motor on!

I had Cooper tires on my Miata. I liked them, until they wore down. Then they got noisy.

Do you seriously have snow in Minnesota already?!?

No snow yet, njaremka...just a full MINI photo from last season with the Blizzaks.
I keep detailed records of tire rotation and mileage and actually received a $140.00 credit from the previous General AltiMax RT43's that only got me 39,000 against a guarantee of 75,000 miles. Must be the "spirited" driving up here!
In any case these feel great on the MINI and will just have to see how they hold up.
Cheers!

Certainly, Bob-O...
Coopers still look brand new and show virtually no wear as my MINI approaches 170k miles.
Need more road-time in, but with pandemic, motoring trips have been limited.
For now, just performing scheduled rotations and enjoying the ride!

Paint the "Copper" letters white to match your roof. Someone on facebook did it, looks nice.
