Well I'm so anxious to see the next gen. that I forgot to look at the details. Yes it was a side shot of the new 2015 Spring Edition.
If they do premier the car at the Detroit show in January Sue and I will be going.
I've been hoping that the next gen style would be more than an evolution of the 5th gen but that does not seem to be where it is headed and I'm really ok with that. That will keep the 5th gens more relavant and it is probably a good direction for the company. It's not like the 5th gen hasn't been a smash hit. More than likely in this case, I'll keep the 45th and do the power add ons that I've been planning.

They feel more secure in hard cornering, felt more comfortable going faster than stock tires. I've never pushed them far enough to break-away so no info on that yet.

When I first pulled out of the tire place there was lots of traffic so I punched it somewhat and got a little wheel spin. Since then I've accelerated pretty hard without spin, good traction. Haven't tried a wide-open max start yet.

Driving down the road I think you feel the road more, including the bumps and ridges, but these tires don't dart back and forth like the BFG's - the stay stable and moving straight.

They are asymmetric with outside / inside specified. The deep grooves are wider than I expected, should be good in rain but haven't driven in rain yet.

what is the model number of the Cooper tires you got?

Cooper Zeon RS3-A

I think they are the only performance Coopers that come in the right size.
