My GS had the G60-15 "billboard" tires and chrome rallye wheel option. I have always felt (however misplaced) that white letter tires look perfect on any GS. there is a visual excitment there even when idling past....

Anyway, I may need some new tires soon, obviously the solid white letter tire is not that common, and the ones I have found I don't like the tread design except for Cooper tire.

Does anyone have any experience whit Cooper tires, good, bad, or ugly??

Would be looking ta 235/60 to 255/60-15....

thanks

Having seen many a set of tire in my days, I would say that they would not be my first choice.

Not real bad, not real good. But I am not going to say that I have reviewed the entire line, or the ones you may want to use.

I have done a couple cars with the Radial TA's, a fresh set is going on the GSX in the shop, and I have had good results.

They have a full white letter.

Hi Guys,

Steve.......is the pic of your car (might I say a nice looking one!) recent? I ask because the rear is "drooping"....sits low. You may want to look into some rear springs as it appears your's may be fatigued and weak. Are they the originals? What about the lower control arms, are they boxed? If not they can flex and that will contribute to wheel hop. OPG sells a boxing kit for both lowers for around $20. Also the addition of rear air bags will help tremendously for pre-load and help with that wheel hop and slow 60' times problem.:D
