Re: [DML] Re: Tire Replacement

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been using Cooper Cobra G/Ts since 2001 and I am very happy with 
them.  They gave a smooth, quiet, comfortable ride on the long trips to 
Memphis, London (ON), and Pigeon Forge.  They were a vast improvement 
over my then 20-year-old Goodyears.

Of course I would recommend against using Cobras on a race track.  They 
are not high performance tires.

This discussion has already mentioned that Cobras are both reasonably 
priced and long-lasting.  But one thing no one has mentioned is that 
Cobras have an aggressive look that suits the DeLorean well.  The tread 
pattern is very similar to the Yoko AVS Intermediates, and the Cobra 
emblem on the sidewall looks sharp and even a little exotic.

I was attracted to Cooper tires because they were headquartered in 
nearby Findlay, OH, and years ago their advertising assured that all 
their tires were made in the USA.  However, I know the company has 
expanded and I have been unable to verify that the Cobra G/T is still 
made in a US facility.  Can anyone can supply information about this?
