    Thanks for your response. It is my understanding that the new Cooper CS4 has all new engineering - as described in a online Motortrend article:$200M to produce new silica tread compound, nylon wraps that meld over belts to add stability, T,H and V rating choices etc. This tire appears to have been out since Apr. '07 - which is prob. why so little consumer data. The Altimax is likewise new- using the silica also.In both cases I'm trying to use due diligence bec.they're new and bec. I tend to drive less miles & keep longer. I'll take another look at Yok's TRZ on your recm.

    I am not sure if this is getting to you. My last experience with Cooper tires (based on the high regards from Consumer Reports was abysmal at best. This was a few years ago and I don't even remember the tire they recommended (Lifeliner IIRC) but they wore out very fast, hydroplaned like mad and ewre generally very scary tires. My experience with the Altimax is on my Saturn SL2 and is very good. I also have on my 2003 T&C Yokohama Avid TRz which I am VERY pleased with

    Good day sir. I'm a newbe to this forum and saw your post of 5-28-'08- concerning your exp. with General Altimax RT(?) tires for your Saturn. I'm looking to repl. tires on a Ford T'bird - V8. And the Altimax is one (the Cooper CS4 the other) that I've tried to gather first hand, long term usage data on. So, if you wouldn't mind elaborating on your exp. -now 4 mos. later : mileage,wear,performance,noise- I'd like to hear from you. I 've seen test data- say from Tire Rack- but this is with new tires, not real world over time-right? Also, your good traction in the snow seems to be better than T.Rack's data would suggest. So,again, I value your exp. and opinion. Hope to hear from you soon.
