im looking at these Cooper Zeon 2XS for my car, and i was wonder what people think of them? i have heard they are pretty bad ass as far as traction and handling goes, but how about tread life? anybody know?

i havent used the tire but from what i have learned from personal experience is that performance tires handle super well but tread life blows.

i have had bfgoodrich comp t/a kwd, nitto 555, and dunlop 5000. all great tires, but even under little abuse they just wear out quickly. i also had some cheap pep boys brand tires that were terrible both treadwear wise and handling wise.

He means he hasn't used that specific tire, but from personal experience he's noticed that OTHER performance tires... And i don't rock 'em. You should try them then tell us all what you think.

goodyear eagle F1's. absolutly insane. my brother had them on his car. they're like 145 a tire and i saw those coopers you want for 70ish. well my advice to you is if your wallet is influencing your decision on quality keep with what you got, if moneys not an option go with the goodyears.

cooper tires are generally bad knock offs of good tires, they'll do the job but likely wear really quickly.If you want a 55 series 16" tire id go with Toyo's and depending on what exactly your looking for, High performance the proxies T1R's and for a performance all season the proxies4 is a nice tire.

btw my brothers car was a 2000 saab 9-5. if you got those stock rims upgrade them if you got the cash. i'm using the 2000 9-5 stock rims as my winter rims and i have have the sport package 9-3 rims on my 9-3 wrapped with p-zeros. i'm going to upgrade them soon.
