The fact that a company builds racing tires doesn't mean much in terms of manufacturing quality for mass produced tires. Most racing tires are made of different constructions and materials on completely separate manufacturing lines. Remember - Firestone made all of those tires for Ford Explorers at the same time they were a supplier to Champcar and other series. -- Mike Original Message: ----------------- Cooper in the mean time is still used on Formula & Champ Car racing, as well as Drifting competitions. If people investing money in these teams, and their drivers who are risking their lives and everyone elses' livelihoods by driving at sustained speeds over over 100mph are doing it on Coopers, then that tells me that even the professionals have grown to trust them. So they must know something about Cooper making a decent tire. -Robert vin 6585 "X" -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE ?
