Barry,
I have had fantastic results from Cooper also. Now run them on my Truck and
Buick. Last of the American made tires I've heard?

Subject: [Spits] Tires for our cars - sigh, again
Listers,
Here we go again - sometimes it get so frustrating -
It is now time to replace the worn out tires on my Spitfire, and as with
so many other things associated with our cars I am finding it
increasingly difficult to find the size I want. I currently have Sumitomo,
205/60 R13, which are OK. and replaced the BFG tires of the same size which
are no longer available, which I really liked.
Now it seems, unless you want to put wide rubber bands on 30 inch rims,
these sizes are becoming obsolete. I personally DO NOT like the look of
40 and lower series tires on anything older than 1990 vehicles and I
don't care for the look of even 50 series tires on our cars.
So my options now so far are, I may be able to order what is left of the
Sumitomo if I can find them, Or if not those, either these,
Nankang-Tires XR611 205/60 R13 (never heard of them), or the Cooper 205/60r
13. Toyo are really too expensive at around 130 a tire --
Anybody have any experience with Cooper tires good or bad?

P.S.
I'm going to run out to a couple of stores locally that are "suppose" to
have some of the tires I have listed, but I am NOT optimistic that they
actually have any -
Wish me luck -
