Onto my second set will get about 80000km of this set – Have got 70000km so far out of my second set of Cooper CS5 Ultra. Had a puncture which was able to be fixed. No problems since repair. At rotation and balance advised that should get another 10000km. Approx 3.5-4mm tread left. Kept at 36-38 psi. Used predominantly for highway running. Rotate/balance every 10000-12000km.

Doesn't live up-to the hype – No complaints about the grip. But there is no noticeable improvement in ride handling or noise reduction. In fact they are as noisy as my previous cheap pace tyres. I only did 3000kms on it. So will come back in a few years to comment about tread life. I usually put 38 psi in my tyres. Like the solid feel.

Durable tyres which lasted for 76000km – Replaced the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sports on our 2015 Subaru Outback Diesel at 53 000km. They were the original tyres. I did not have an alignment or rotation during this time and the front tyres were the first to wear out. I'm sure there are other factors to consider but interestingly, the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport have a Treadwear rating of 300. The treadwear rating for the Coopers is 580. Not sure of the tread depth on the Bridgestone Duelers but the Coopers are 8.6mm.
Its been a year and 4 months and we have done 50 000km.They have about 4mm of tread left. I have taken them to the tyre shop be looked at every 10 000km and they have been checked and rotated as required.
The majority of driving is on the Highway between Yass and Canberra, a trip to Sydney every 4-6 weeks and one trip to Melbourne. Feels solid and planted in the wet and smooth and quiet on the highway. They are a durable tyre and going strong after 50000km.
Changed tyres after 76000 km. Were down to about 2mm from original 8.6mm. Tyres had worn pretty evenly.
Have purchased another set of the same tyres.

Impressive early days – Have replaced Pirelli All Seasons Verde with these Coopers. Had read very good reviews of the CS5 Grand Touring but they are not available in the recommended size so ran with these. Initial impressions are of a very neutral steering, smooth riding, quiet and grippy in wet tyre. The Pirelli's were noticeably noisier and the tread in the Chinese made version chunking out badly.

Just replaced after 45 000 ks. Still had another 1.5 mm above wear bars but some inside wear so would not pass rego check. It was 'too difficult' for the distributor to make a claim against the advertised 80 000k warranty promise as I didn't have time to muck around and apparently you have to apply for a refund or percentage of the replacement on the same tyre and wait for a response. In short; good tyre but don't buy for the warranty and don't be disappointed if they wear out early.

25000ks and the front Coopers have approximately 5mm of the total 8.6mm left. Hmm...doesn't look like we are going to get the 80000ks 'promised'. Tyrepower dealer says we should have rotated at 10000ks. I still doubt this car would get the 80000ks. They are quiet and grip very well and so far have not had the punctures our previous Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres were prone to, so I would be happy with 60000ks which i think is more realistic. The Kia AWD still sends more drive to the front so the AWD designation it is a bit of a 'furphy'. Tyrepower dealer also advised more air pressure as side of tyre tread was worn more than centre so now closer to 40 psi.
