don't forget, GY owns Cooper now...
Unfortunately, I don't see Goodyear treating Cooper any differently than any of the other tire company that they have absorbed over the years.
Goodyear looks at Cooper as just another Kelly-Springfield or Dunlop.
I will give Michelin credit. They've done what should be done, in creating tiers. They've slotted themselves at the top as the 'premium' line, then BFG, then Uniroyal as the 'value' line. If Goodyear was smart, they'd do the same.... but are they smart enough to notice it... or motivated enough to try it?
Goodyear could slot themselves at the top, then Cooper, then Kelly. But again. Not sure that their marketing people have the necessary level of intelligence to figure it out.

I'm on my second set of coopers, (2 diff cars) nothing but good things to say about them...I just hope Goodyear doesn't mess it up...
my family hasn't had much luck with GY...
and considering my Cousin works at the BFG plant outside of Ft.Wayne, I'll likely head to that family of brands for my next purchase.
It'd be nice if i could get something made at THAT plant, but how do you even figure that out ahead of time...
I’ve had many sets of Coopers as well. The last set I purchased was terrible(Discoverer AT)and will be the last set of their tires I buy new.
Bought Cooper AT3 4S. At local dealer and we’re fantastic tires in all 4 season weather. Air pressure meticulously maintained. Rotated every 5000 miles and they lasted 28000 miles. Cooper rep wouldn’t honor the the 60000 mile warranty. Running Continental now.
I am surprised that they are not made in my size - 275/65R18.
The Evolution HT2 seems to be priced similarly to many off-brand Asian tires.

Had 2 sets of Discoverer AT's and love them. Trying to find another set for my next purchase but saying out of stock
I've got Coopers on my ZJ and they're fine. They were a slightly more affordable option for the dog-mobile and I have no complaints for them.
Nice! Aren't new tires great? 
Unfortunately most people need at least four.Cooper makes a great tire
Running Cooper Evolution Tours on both 8 gen Corolla’s in my sig.
A good tire at a good price. Does what a tire is suppose to do!
