(sorta ot) cooper cobras?

[Rabbit16v@attbi.com (Rabbit16v)]

I bought a set for my car (14") and thought they would be nice tires since
they were Cooper's performance tire and because Cooper makes tires for a
bunch of other brands.  But about 5000 miles after I bought them one of the
tires grew a bubble in the side wall.  I upgraded to 15" wheels and tires
vowed never to buy cooper again (atleast the performance line).  I was very
disappointed in the quality and the traction.  HTH!
