Tire Deals

[kipper88]

I have two deals worked out at local places for some all season tires for the MSP. I have a deal w/ Belle Tire for Toyo Proxes 4 but I also talked to a smaller place (Midwest Tire) about some Cooper Zeon ZPT. Both are the same price (mounted, balanced, etc). I have read good reviews about the Toyos but I havent heard much about the Coopers. Does anyone have any advice or some expertise to share w/ me?

They are both good tires. Being in Michigan I would suggest against getting all-seasons and get some nice winter tires and summer tires. There's nothing like a winter tire in the snow.

The Coopers were designed to compete head to head with the Proxes4. I would go with the Proxes just because they have a better name and reputation where Cooper isn't a very popular purchase. I just bought the Falken Ziex512s and I love them. Goth them for $312 shipped to my door and $85 for mounting and balancing.
