Cooper CS-4 tires--good replacement tire?

[VibeMike]

I am in the market for a replacement tire for my 2003 Vibe. Currently using the Goodyear Assurance triple tred which is a great tire but my tire dealer was pushing the Cooper CS-4. They said it is as good as the Assurance but at a lower price. Any experience with the CS-4?

I know that everyone I have recommended the Assurance Triple Tread to that made the purchase has been thrilled with them once they got used to the price - great handling in the wet and snow and long tread life. Here is a link to a test that Motor Trend made and they liked the tire - but they admitted they didn't learn much from a single test.http://www.motortrend.com/feat....htmlIt appears the tire has had lots of testing and could be a good tire.

Thank you for the Motor Trend article on the CS-4 by Cooper. I had them installed yesterday and I am happy with them. Time will tell but I will report back after I had some time to write a review of these tires.
