Wonder how long it takes to offshore the manufacturing...

Darn! Deals like this aren't usually a good thing. One of the reasons I bought Coopers was because they are made in USA. Hopefully GY will keep the American manufacturing plants producing the Coopers.

Brilliant tire - LOVE them here in Oz.

I really like Goodyear’s. Duratracs are a great tire.

Dang I love the Cooper USA made tires! Sure as hell hope they continue making the Coopers here in the USA.

Cooper AT3's are a really good tire.
Cooper ST. MAXX is an even better tire.

I use Mastercraft for years which is run by Cooper. I hope it doesn't screw that up. I love those tires.

Cooper AT/3 for me on my 4Runner. Great traction and tough as nails. I need that driving around the SE AZ desert!

I thought the same for AT/3 for the first ~15k miles. Their aggressiveness went down hill fast after that for me on my tundra. YMMV.
