CS4s or RT43s for my van?

Thanks for the tip on the Coopers (rebate info link below):

Now I have to reconsider and debate the Coopers CS4's vs. the CS3???

Do you want a known and proven entity (CS4), or brand new design (CS3)?

The RT43's from DTD were $290. (P215/65/r15) The Avids would have been about $11 less after MIR. The CS4's would have been $37 less after MIR. I have some CS4's on the 05' Focus and they are very good tires but for this car the ride is a little stiffer than I would have hoped for. The main reason I went for the Generals is their winter traction rating. The Toyota Previa is rear-wheel drive and I'd like all the traction I could get from a tire. Plus I like trying new things.

The RT43's arrived yesterday and I had them mounted today, Thrs. My initial impressions, very comfortable ride and absorbs bumps well. Quiet ride. To soon to tell about the other traits, but I had a grin on my face as I was really pleased w/the tires on the drive around town and short highway run. No regrets w/purchase.

I ended up getting the CS4's, the $60 MIR swayed me...the net was $445 OTD with tax!
