These tires were firtted to my car when I bought it and had little or no wear. Recently did a 750+ mile round trip from end Of Essex to end of Cornwall meeting a wide variety of road conditions. Never had a moments concern be the road wet or dry. I drive the car as it was meant to be driven so no gentle cruising around. The tires were a bit noisy on ridged concrete, the section of the M25 aound the junction with the A3 and on towards the M3 was the worst.
Found this review while looking for replacement tires. A summer shower on M45 Coventry had me Aquaplaning almost off the road and going way less than speed limit. Summer grip is fine. Road noise is dependent on surface. Unlikely to buy these again.

Not very impressed with these. Dry grip is average, the seem to skate across the road rather than biting in and gripping. Wet grip is bad, and even on modestly powered car they are easy to spin when pulling away and the car understeers easily on wet roundabouts. They tire constructiion is quite hard and they transmit all of the minor road imperfections to the car. The best things I can say are that they are not too noisy, and the hard compound means they last for ages. This is unfortunate as I cannot wait to replace them with something better.

I just changed these out on my Quattro after just over 18,000 miles. They would have been okay for summer, but with winter coming they were a bit past it.
Seemed to me to be quite a good hard wearing chunky tire that was not outstanding in any way really but overall very capable and trustworthy. Most of my driving is on Somerset roads with a bit of motorway occasionally. So they have driven on lumpy country lanes, gravel and dirt tracks, on fields and over beaches.
I felt that they felt a bit woolly after the old Michelins that were on the car when I bought it, just were not as sporty or poised, but they never got scary and were very progressive.
Overall a good tire and good value. I have however just replaced them with Nokian Lines because they got such great reviews from end users and tire tests. Will report back on them when they are worn in.
My eventual choices were Nokian, Michelin PS3 or Uniroyal RS3. I hope I have chosen well.
Shocking tire to the extent that I bought a car with 4 of these on which are nearly new. I'm having them removed in favor of Goodyear F1's. Why you ask? Predominantly the noise, these are the loudest tires I've had the misfortune or owning, even on freshly laid Tarmac they are appalling. Secondly I'd class them as dangerous, wet grip is virtually non existent and even in the dry they are skittish for no apparent reason. Since looking around it seems these tires get bad press, I can't say I'm surprised!
Very impressive grip on dry, wet and ice. However, I've had theese tires around 2 years and they are cracking. Not to badly at the minute but I reckon in 6-12 months they are going to be scrapped.
This tire doesn't seem suited to my car.I find grip both in the wet and dry very mediocre compared to the previously fitted Falkens, and miles behind premium tires such as the OE Michelins. They are fairly good value though and seem to wear well, but you can do much better if you want performance.
Brought a pair last year and done 5000 miles so far, seem great no matter what the weather & wear really well compared to the maxxis I had on before.
I've just had another pair but on the back to replace the maxxis on there to.
While talking to the guy at the garage he told me that Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Europe Limited. Own Avon tires & after looking at the Avon website it says at the bottom.
So you can now buy with peace of mind that these are practically Avon tires !!!
I had never heard of these.I normally run toyo proxies tr1's on 18" rims on my Impreza but got a blow out and with no spare i hobbled into a garage on the same road.They couldn't repair my tire so ended up having to have two Coopers fitted on the promise from the garage that they are on par with the tr1.I must admit the road noise is far less than the tr1 but i have yet to see how they handle,only done 100 mile on them.Not seen on comments off high performance car owners yet so im feeling a little twitchy about putting them to the test.
I have had a set of CS6s on my torquey diesel for over 15,000 miles now and have virtually no wear. Although I don't drive like a maniac I think the wear is fantastic. Road noise is ok, nothing more than any other tire really.
Grip is fantastic, especially in the typical wet English weather. I was surprised at how good they were in the snow of Winter 2012/2013 too...
Good tire for a really good price got a 225 45 17 for £79 each fitted balanced and old disposal...great.
