Realized I have not updated my tires, so here is a little update and review..
Cooper CS5 Grand Touring (195/60/15) - Threw these on the Cobalt last spring after losing two tires to a pothole. Was not sure I was going to buy nice tires for the "beater", but I'm glad I did. Tires have almost 10k on them now, and show very little wear. Thinking it will be possible to get 65-70k out of these, even with mostly city driving. They are quiet, and pick up the bumps quite nicely (way better than the Sumis before). Stays planted in the turns...just like the way these handle. Out of all the tires I have put on this car, these are by far the best. We will see long term, but at the moment I would have no problem getting another set of these!
Yokohama Avid Touring S (195/70/14)- Had these on the wife's Cavalier for few years now. Have a bit over 20k on them, and they too are wearing well (still have about 65-70% left or so) Thinking they will hit the 65k warranty mark with no issue. Not as much to say about this size because it's a 13 year base compact with noo handling whatsoever. They do really pick up the bumps quite well too. IF we still have the car (rust is eating it away
)I would pick up another set, granted it helps that there is nothing but junk in this size now anyways( for the most part)..
I would recommend both tires..
As a side note-I would include my other car's General Altimax RT's, but the car has seen few miles a the moment. At least they hold air well....
