2nd set that developed delamination bulges
Very good wearing BUT! We’ve purchased 2 sets of this for our car. First set - tyres bulged and de laminated well before their lifespan was complete. We received a pathetic $20 off each new tyre to compensate us. We foolishly purchased another set (because we couldn’t receive any compensation if we bought another brand. After 40000klm 2 tyres developed delamination bulges leaving us almost stranded way out of town on a public holiday. Would not recommend!

Great value, 80K+, AWD territory
Mostly on road but also done a lot of work offroad (not what they are designed for). Always kept between 35 and 38 psi, balanced, rotated and aligned regularly. Very comfortable ride, very low noise, very good wear, having said that, while the territory is a heavy car i drive fairly easily, plus it has traction control and ABS so is easier on the tyres. Never had them scare me except on loose gravel corners - which would happen regardless of tyre. They handle bitumen corners as expected for a tyre with this profile.
Much nicer tyre then the sta

110K and still going!
We put these Coopers on our Mazda CX-5 after the factory fitted were done. They have been brilliant. 110,000km and still at least 10,000 left. No punctures. Lining up the next set now!

The Yokohama tyres that came with the car lasted around 72,000klms. Took a punt and bought Coopers CS5 Grand Touring. Amazing grip in the wet (back when it used to rain). Particularly like the wear indicators. Mine are around 50% at 70,000klms (although I doubt I'll get 140,000 out of them). As mentioned in another review make sure to get the excess rubber (from the moulding process) taken off before balancing. Still getting excellent grip from them.

Fantastic
Awesome tyres for the price. Running them on a kia sorento 2015. As long as they are rotated properly they should last 20-30000 km longer than their nearest competitor. Grip uncompromised even in the wet. Great follow on from the cs4's which I had on an old x-trail.

Great First Impression - and keeps going strong
I have had these installed on my Subaru Forester XT and have driven about 5000 km. This has included driving on the beach and along riverbed type 4x4 tracks with plenty of sharp rocks.
The tyres have performed well with no damage evident from the rough tracks while still outperforming the cheap road tyres that were previously on the car during on road performance. Including high speed on wet roads.
Overall I am happy so far and will consider these a good value buy even if I only get another 30,000 km which they should far exceed.
UPDATE: The tyres are still going strong and have handled several beaches without issue. Still very happy with the purchase.

Good change to start
Just replaced Toyo A24 with Cooper's today. It rained all day today and I can clearly feel the comfort in wet condition on day 1 comparing with the first day of buying the car. The old ones started deteriorating at 60K and we're done and dusted by 74K. These come with 80K warranty. Let's hope they keep the same way going forward

Very quiet, have only noticed wear is almost non-existence
My own vehicle is a Toyota Prado, GXL fitted four years ago with Cooper's AT3s H/D. Excellent purchase and wear, so when my wife's RAV4 needed new tyres we looked around for Cooper's. They are more expensive, but as the car is only 5 years old and already had its original and a further set from Bob Jane's, we decided Coopers would most likely work out cheaper in the long-run. We found they were readily available within 24 hours. Purchased from Beaurepairs, Port Adelaide, with the only hiccup being, the sales person ordered four instead of five
... Read more, although we paid and later collected the fifth. The wear is almost negligible, and they are as quiet as any other tyre, after around five months use at something like 4,000 km. I am very pleased, my wife wouldn't know, as she would only say, if they were bad and needed replacing and as she hasn't said anything except that she loves her RAV4, I assume the tyres are a great investment. Her service is due in the next two weeks, so I'll get her to have the wheels rotated.Purchased in at Beaurepaires Australia for $1,090.

Perfect
I purchased these tyres 3 months ago and have done around 5000kms in this time. The tyres are wearing very well and a great in wet weather conditions and gravel roads. The car is also much better on fuel and has a much smoother ride. I highly recommend these tyres for a safer drive.

Excellent Tyres
What can I say, Cooper are a very good tyre manufacture.
They are more expensive but worth it.
These are my 3rd set of Coopers on this car and I can't recommend them highly enough.
They are over a year old and have few thousand of kms on them but still look like new.
Still very quiet, smooth and we feel reassured driving on them.
I bought them from Tyrepower at Geebung, Qld. Chris is excellent to deal with.

Done at 25k on the front but the rear still like new
These Cooper CS5 tyres are good but on our particular SUV really needed to rotate them front to back at 10000 or 15000. Without rotation around the vehicle our front tyres were both equally done after 25000 kms and the rear tyres still have plenty of tread left. They are quiet on the highway and never missed a beat across a fairly wet season in SE Qld.

Great tyres
I purchased these tyres about a year ago and so far they are wearing very well. They are not noisy. They are great in wet weather and fuel economy has improved since I had these tyres fitted on my car. I have always been a Michelin girl but I may be convinced these are as good or better.

Redeemed
The tyres in my previous evaluation settled down after about a month and my feel for the road normalised.
I have just changed them after 100,000 klms. Quite impressive wear and tear.
Yes, I did replace them with the same tyres and there has been no repeat of the original problem.

Looking forward to seeing how they perform
Have just had these tyres fitted after the factory fitted yokos needed replacing after 33,000kms. I drive on a mix of sealed and unsealed roads (rather than heavy duty off roading etc). I bought these because I was outraged at having to replace the current tyres after such low mileage. I was attracted by the 80,000km warranty and importantly, that these tyres seem well-suited for much of the driving I do (a mix of city, highway and country).
I don't particularly think about and am not very observant of how cars perform or handle, so was int
... Read moreerested to find that in the short drive I have had after having these fitted I could feel a noticeable difference. There is more tyre noise ( but not really bad or enough to concern me) and after the very soft yokos, could really feel the difference in having a much harder tyre fitted. It makes my CX5 feel very different, less of a smooth Euro feeling city drive (which is lovely) to something that is more rugged and go anywhere in all weather conditions. The handling is good and the tread very deep. I had read reviews that said all of these things, but not being someone who really focuses on how my car goes, I did not think I would notice the difference (and after 50 or 100km I am sure I will not), but found the reviews to be accurate. That said, I am pleased with this purchase and look forward to seeing how they perform.- Car: Mazda CX5 2016
Don't buy these purely for low noise.
Just fitted 2 of these, CS5 215/65/16 to the front of my 2006 Tucson and they are a little noisier than the old mostly worn out kumhos that were on it . Steering is similar, maybe holding a straight line better, but no improvement in cornering on this car with generally lethargic under steer.
Comfort and minor bump absorption feels a little better. From a strictly noise perspective I would try something different next time.
