Havent tried the CS4's but I had cooper discoverer STT's and loved them, like a MTR but half the cost.
Appreciate that info.I just had a chance to trade for a set of michilens with those nice aluminum wheels that came on the Briarwoods.I really wanted the Coopers anyhow so now Im leaning that way.I have always liked Goodyears and have had great luck for years (been driving51 years)and I had one set of BF Goodrich TA comps I liked .I have an problem with Firestones ever since I bought new Town & Country and had 5 of them blow out!Thanks
Thanks for the info on the Good Years. I, also had problems with Firestone. Seems like you and I have been driving about the same, me since 1952. Firestone's came with our '75 Wagoneer. That was one tough Jeep, the only thing ever wrong with it was the body rusted away, couldn't kill the drive train. Anyway, back to tires. Firestone's would last about 20,000 or so miles and the casing would separate from the tread. Happened twice as Firestone stood behind them. Then switched to the new (then) 721 Firestone casing. That made a big difference, but I eventually went to Michelins. And since we moved to the mountain and have a damnable time with ice from January through March, I've had much better luck with Cooper Discovery. Best to you and good luck.
Nice to talk with you also.Where or which mountains are you talking about?Its only 2000ft above sea level here with 3000 + on top ,but,as we are on a huge (above sea level) plateau called the big level.If ya watch the weather channel,its always easy to pick out the Penna. "icicle"shaped area with lower temps than most anywhere around.I seen it 48 below in 1952 when I was a kid.I hate winter and am only back here for my wife to be with her grandbabies.I would prefer to pick our tire for my Porche or handbuilt sports cars etc.LOL
We're located in central Virginia near the Blue Ridge. Our house is set on the top of a 2000' peak in a range that tops out at about 3500'. It's known as Tobacco Row Mountain. Our winters usually are much colder than the surrounding flat land. In addition our driveway is on the north slope of the mountain and the house is about a mile from the county road. Much of it does not have any sunshine hit it during the period from mid-December until late-February. Thus our ice problem. We remove snow from the surface, but with freeze-thaw action some melts above in the sun and then runs down to the shade to refreeze. It can get a bit dicy.
My wife has similar sentiments to yours, she would rather be in a warmer clime. Me, I think this is just fine for nine to ten months, then we head for North Carolina beaches for the two to three months of ice and snow and all is well with the world.
Nice chatting with a fellow high-lander.
