Barry, I have had fantastic results from Cooper also. Now run them on my Truck and Buick. Last of the American made tires I've heard?

I currently have Sumitomo, 205/60 R13, which are OK. and replaced the BFG tires of the same size which are no longer available, which I really liked. Now it seems, unless you want to put wide rubber bands on 30 inch rims, these sizes are becoming obsolete. I personally DO NOT like the look of 40 and lower series tires on anything older than 1990 vehicles and I don't care for the look of even 50 series tires on our cars. So my options now so far are, I may be able to order what is left of the Sumitomo if I can find them, Or if not those, either these, Nankang-Tires XR611 205/60 R13 (never heard of them), or the Cooper 205/60r 13. Toyo are really too expensive at around 130 a tire -- Anybody have any experience with Cooper tires good or bad? Barry Schwartz La Mesa(San Diego), CA P.S. I'm going to run out to a couple of stores locally that are "suppose" to have some of the tires I have listed, but I am NOT optimistic that they actually have any - Wish me luck - -------------------------------------------------------------------- myhosting.com - Premium Microsoft.
