Cooper CS4 tires? - The Ford Focus Forum

**MaybeaFocus** · 08-07-2007, 02:04 PM

I need new all-season tires for the Focus. The local tire guy recommended the Cooper CS4 touring tires. Does anyone have these? I had been considering the Bridgestone Potenza G 009, but the Coopers are $120 less. I currently have BF Goodrich Traction T/A's. Will I notice a large performance difference with touring tires? I don't drive very aggressively. The Coopers and Bridgestones are H-rated, while my current Traction T/A's are V-rated.

You will be taking two steps down from the tire you are driving today, one by category "High Performance" to "Touring" and one step down from "V" speed rated to "H". You said you are not an aggressive driver and to be honest with you, most average drivers can not tell the difference between one drop or increase in speed ratings. Having said that, if you do notice a difference, the "H" rated touring tires will feel a little sloppy compared to your current tires!

Nitto neo gen is actually a pretty good all season(its not an all season but itll work) lol.

I think you'd notice a difference. I noticed a big difference in the dry performance of my G009s vs my old Falken Ziex and they're in the same general class. The G009s perform a bit worse in the dry, but FAR FAR FAR better in wet and snow. What about Yokohama AVID H4S? My buddies have these and loveum, and you can get them from the 'Rack too!
