Can't say I'm a fan of either. The cooper RS3-S tires I had on my Cobra were the worst ever by far.

Only Coopers I’ve ever had where on my old Celica. They were meh.
I’ve had Goodyear Wrangler ATS tires on my B2600 4x4 that were an amazing tire.
And I’m still running Goodyear Eagle F-1’s on my Mustang that are well beyond the best before date.

Every Industry is seeing huge consolidation/concentration. The industry I am in has 1 company owning about 80+% of the companies in the market, they just keep the individual names and head offices, but all the production is in Poland for all the brands. One of these companies tries to lead they are American built, but the time clocks on the equipment we receive are set to Poland time.

Should change the title from Goodyear to buy Cooper Tires... to Goodbye to Cooper Tires.
Products are usually incorporated into other lines by changing names or just swept away to narrow the field.
New reality of the corporate world

They're looking to get their worldwide sales volume closer to Michelin / Uniroyal / Goodrich and Bridgestone / Firestone. This will make them a very close #3.
