kelly's or cooper's?

[simple]

I currently have a set of cooper HT tires on my silverado. The only thing I've noticed about my coopers is that they don't seem to accept tire dressing very well. If I apply armor all or 303 I'll get blochy areas on the tire. I never had this problem with my Goodyears or Dunlops. I assume this is because the compound on the sidewall is made just a tad harder than normal. I'm due for a new set of tires and I don't think I'm going with coopers again. I'm thinking about something in the Kelly line. What do you think?

Re: kelly's or cooper's?

I have a set of cooper H/Ts and haven't noticed that problem. I use a tire specific dressing and not armor all. I don't remember the name. I apply thoroughly, let soak and come back spray a little more and wipe down with a curved foam applicator that came with the tire shine. <br /><br />I like coopers because they are a great tire for the price. They look good, wear well and are made in the USA.

i was a goodyear man to the bone but my 2003 silverado came with General Tires<br /><br />and at 23000 miles they are holding up very well and look like they will go 50000 plus no problem<br /><br />not to good in snow but great in rain and everything else<br /><br />tommays
