My Coronet came with a nearly-new set of cheapish Coopers from Les Schwab (local tire chain). Two of them had a tread wobble inside of a few months (I thought my wheels were warped but no). Plus traction in colder/damper weather is so bad the rear end breaks loose in 1st gear... in the middle of acceleration... at over 3500 rpm... with a 2.91 rear end. And I only have a 109,000 mile 318 with a milder-than-a-340 cam. It never travels very far from home so I'm still rolling on them, but I'm not touching this brand with a ten foot pole with my own money.
1967 Dodge Coronet Deluxe station wagon
1.03" T-bars, QA1 arms/rods, Cordoba/GM Metric/Volare brake & knuckle, XHDs, Hellwig rear sway, 318 Magnum w/ air gap, 727, 3.23s

And from my experience I will NEVER buy another tire from Tire Rack! If you ever have a problem with a tire they will tell you it is YOUR FAULT!
Thanks for the link
I always try to purchase domestic products!

Have had great luck with Cooper tires over the years. Love them on my truck. Best thing since chains on ice and snow. Local G Goodyear store even sells Cooper over GY.

Cooper tires have been good to me. With that said, I always buy the top-shelf models, since I tend to keep my vehicles a long time. I have no experience with their cheaper models.
It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

Put some Cooper CS4 Tourings (USA) on the wife's Crv 10,000 miles ago and have been perfect with little to no wear. Decent traction also.
I have a set of CS4s on my Olds Cutlass. I think they are great. I've had 4 sets of Coopers on my daily drivers over the last decade or so. No complaints.
