Because these are snow tires, they have a lifetime warranty on workmanship and materials, but no mileage warranty.
They do not, in fact. These have been used on a regular basis with no problems; I've had them since October 24, 2019 and they're still on my Acura RDX as of December 27, 2019.
Selected User Reviews For Cooper Evolution Winter 225/60R18 100H Tire
The tires are very nice. They look great on my RAV4, particularly with the black steel wheels. In the short time I've assessed them, they've proven to be quite capable in both wet and dry conditions. When the snow starts to fall, I'll post an important update- most likely by the middle of the year November. 12/12/2019 UPDATE: I'm still very happy with these snow tires after several weeks of use this winter. It performed admirably throughout the previous winter and appears to be up to the challenges of this one as well. The tread is in excellent condition. It never runs out of air. It appears to be fantastic.
br>I've had blizacks and Perelleis before, so I know what a good snow tire is. br>dry road grip is excellent. The traction provided by the snow is excellent. br>In the rain, the road is fantastic, and the ice traction is exceptional. br>An idea: These or blizacks are a good choice.
Wasilla, Alaska is where I call home. I used 12mm grip studs from gripstuds. com, which fit perfectly in the predrilled holes on these tires. If you can, use a drill instead of a hand tool because forearms are killed by hand tools. For all four tires, you'll need around 300 of them. Grip studs are $1 per stud, so be aware. br>br>Performance: The tires cut through the snow well, and I have a good sense of control while driving. I don't slide while the person ahead of me does. The studs, on the other hand, are beneficial. Control is also aided by the fact that I drive an AWD vehicle. You'll still slide if you go too fast, and you'll slide a little more in deep, fresh snow. However, breaking is a great thing to do, and it's very important. Overall, even in the dreary Alaska weather, I feel safer and more in command. There are probably better snow tires out there, but these do the job for me. 👍.
SUMMARY: These are the snow tires to get if you want dependable winter traction at a low cost. br>br>HISTORY: New England's winter has arrived, and I'm ready for it. The season's front tires had reached the end of their useful life. bars. I wanted to spend as little as possible because I intend to sell this minivan this summer. The entire back half of the vehicle Because the seasons were fine, I decided to use only the front wheels of these Coopers to deal with the Massachusetts winter and my steep driveway. I figured I could always buy two more for the back wheels if I didn't get the traction and control I wanted. br>br>According to some reviews, the shoes have good traction in both dry and wet weather. Others mentioned minimal road noise, and the majority of reviews indicated that the vehicle had good snow and ice traction. All of them were spot on! br>br> Using these Coops on a variety of snow, slush, ice, and rain, I've been able to climb, accelerate, brake, and turn with confidence. I ONLY PURCHASED TWO TIRES FOR THE FRONT WHEELS AGAIN! With the help of my entire team, In the winter, I'd have to get a head start to get up my slick driveway; in the summer, I'd have to get a head start. I had to take two or three passes most of the time. I've been able to slow-down with these Coops. I rolled up my driveway in conditions that made it difficult for me to walk down it without stumbling. br>br> I've owned Nokian Hakkepellitas in the past (which were fantastic). These Coopers had a tread pattern that was similar to the previous ones, with a lot of sipes. And, according to what I've read, sipes are the way to go on snow tires. BOTTOM LINE: br>br> br>• FWD Minivanbr>• Only two tires on front wheelsbr>• Low highway noisebr>• Excellent grip and control on uphill icy drivewaybr>• All-around solid performance on snow, slush, rain, and icebr>• RECOMMENDED.
Updated on March 3, 2020 - I'm going to try these out this summer, but I wanted to make sure I had the latest information. We probably put 4 on the list. They've covered 5000 miles. They've lasted a long time, with only about half of the tread remaining. I'm guessing it's because the van they're riding in needs to be aligned. But it doesn't matter to me because they kept my family safe and did an excellent job. The only difficulty they had was getting started at ice-glazed intersections, but that was to be expected. It would be the best of all worlds if you were able to study these in your state. br>br>Tires appear to have a softer sidewall than previous tires, causing them to squat more. After working perfectly for several weeks, one of my tires went almost flat one morning. It's now working properly after being reinstalled with a bead sealer and a new valve stem. It's unlikely that the tire is to blame, but it's strange. Treads are rounding off a little on the dry pavement due to putting them on too early this year, but even an inch of snow makes the roads ice, so I'm glad I got them on. However, I'll be pulling them off as soon as the snow melts in the spring, so they don't get too worn down. br>br>** New information - Everything appears to be in good working order after mounting and balancing these with a Harbor Freight changer/bubble balancer. If you're into that sort of thing, changing your own tires is fairly simple. More importantly, so far, these appear to drive well on dry pavement. I'll update once I get these on some snow or ice. br>br>I haven't mounted these yet, but I'm giving them 5 stars just for the looks and feel. On my minivan, these things will be crazy. The Coopers, which I believe performed poorly last winter, are a night and day difference from the CS5s when I run my hand along the tread on these. br>Now I have to say that the rubber isn't as soft as my Blizzaks on my other car. These aren't true ice tires, according to the site. Because I can't use studs where I live, I'm hoping they'll work on ice and snow as well. However, these are nearly half the price of Blizzaks in terms of price. I'll post an update once I put them on and walk through the snow and ice.
This tire is a road beast in Alaska, and we didn't stud them because this tire is good even at -. Below zero, 60 degrees.
My 17-grand caravan's factory tires certainly give the impression that it is. The factory tires still had plenty of tread, but they performed horribly on ice and snow. These tires are fantastic, and they provide excellent traction on both icy and snowy roads. I'm not looking forward to putting them back on in the spring, but the increased confidence I'll have while driving in the snow should be worth it.
