Zeon RS3-S

My tires are great

Responsiveness makes driving sweet!

I've had several tire sets on my C55 - thin rubber wears out quickly, it's a light car with nearly 400lbs of torque. I've had Michelin Pilots, Kumho Ecsta, Toyo Proxes - and the Cooper Zeon are by far the best dollar-to-value of any I've owned. They are firm and corner well, but are just soft enough to hook up nicely and not make the ride too stiff when you find bad pavement. They beat the Kumho and Toyo hands-down, and are nearly as good as the Michelin at a much better price. Have not driven them yet in the rain, or long enough to gauge tread wear. But so far - a definite recommend!

The only complaint I have about these tires are that they follow the groves in the road.

I went with the Coopers as a reasonable cost replacement of the Goodyear Eagle F1 (OEM) that I didn't like. The car is not driven in any wet conditions. I only did the front as rear Goodyears still have some life. OEM only had 16K miles and DF tire was showing nylon. Camber and caster is not adjustable on this car without shifting engine cradle. I'll get to checking that soon. I do have a shimmy at 80mph that wasn't there before, so I need to go back and have Mavis check the balance,

I bought these tires for my wife's car for summer use. She has a separate set of tires and rims for winter use. I had had Cooper tires on my previous car, a Toyota Solara, and found them to be excellent. She is a spiritted driver and I wanted tires which could handle that kind of driving and be safe. I expect the Coopers to fit our needs.

These are my first experience with Cooper tires on this vehicle and I love'em! I'm a very spirited driver and they have met all the needs I insist on in a high performance summer tire. My car came with Dunlolap runflats which were like driving on stone tires. I couldn't wait for them to wear out and get them off. There is a noticeable difference in these tires, one pluss being they are softe, one negative being, they stick so well that my steering wheel feels tight and is harder to turn. For those of you that want an excellent summer tire that handles well in the rain and grips like an arm wrestler, you can't go wrong with these.
