I run those in the winter, (205/75-15) but they are a little noisier. With the new muffler my tires are the loudest thing in the car.

I ran Cooper for years because they were inexpensive and a good performing all-season tire. They were available locally at a shop where I lived and always a good $20 or so cheaper a tire then anything at Sears, and hardly more expensive then generic tire. I thought they were a good balance between cheap and good.

Now I have some Yokohamas I got online at about half price a tire plus shipping, and they have done really well for me.

I, also, have a set of Cooper A4 all season 215-65R15 on Jeep rims.  Right now I have the Firestone 205/70r15 on the front and the Coopers on the rear.  They have the same diameter so no problem in 4wd.

That's gonna be my next winter tire... 

for winter, I have Uniroyal Tigerpaw studded tires.  They were really cheap (in 2004 I paid $480 installed and studded) so it was a cost thing, but they just did their 6th winter. 

In summer, I have Pirelli P3000 touring/high mileage tires (135,000) for summer.  They are coming up to their 5th summer.

El Matador

My dad works for Kal Tire (those outside western Canada probably won't know that name), so I get some smokin' deals on tires.  I run 205-75-15 Nokian Vatiiva on the Eagle year round.  My wife's Corolla and Cube have Nokian WRG2 on them for the summer, and the Cube has studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 for the winter (just like Priya has shown above).

My Concords ride on whatever I find at Pick-n-Pull.  ;D
