I thought that I had those before or very similar E Coopers. Here is a out of pixel picture of them on Blue. I found them decent but noise and harsh over speed bumps. Otherwise I loved the traction and get around ability of them for sure.
Yea that's what I was attempting avoid. From all the the reviews there were some who reported noise, nothing about harshness though. Either it's going to be last time I purchase load E's or a nice new beginning lol. Purchased new tires for the truck what 3 or 4 times in the past but they were all P's. I recall after each install how comfortable they were all around, no harshness. Hope these aren't annoyingly bad.

Yea I thought some of you guys have ran Coopers before, couldn't remember who and wasn't sure if anyone ran E's. I'll update the thread I have on them as I go. My old tire were getting bad but had a good ride until the end. They got to the point were a sharp stones would puncture between the treads. That said, I only had one puncture repair with them. A stone had punched through.

Damn. That is a soft tire when a road stone will puncture like that. Yeah, time to change tires, for sure.

Tonight I took the plunge and ordered a set of Moog front wheel bearings with 14mm studs for lil Red. I figure, I might as well have matching lugs all the way around and not 12's on the front and 14's on the rear. I found, using Honey, a 20% discount on a pair, so I used that and saved over $50 total. That made it worth it, and the fact that I had Amazon gift cards still to use, why not. I blew everything but $40. I'm a shopping ***** sometimes. lol

Honey ? Sticky "Enter key" ? I don't get it I guess, how does honey save you 20% ? Do you have a honey in retail, did you get stung robbing the puty ??

Regardless, sounds good, now everything will match lol.

Honey is a free coupon APP that I put on my computer. It searches all possible coupons when you go to check out and tells you what is the best coupon or even where it is cheaper. It really helps on Amazon and other sites.

Ahh, huh, never heard of it. 20% isn't small potatoes. Sometimes it's crazy what you can save if put time into doing so. Never use to do that, always figured it was a waste of time to save very little.
Definitively changed the way I think about that and concluded I didn't give it enough effort or time. When you take a look at the bigger picture, it's a no brainer lol. Unfortunately, I still can't grocery shop well dangit....not enough left brain I guess.

This works on pizza online ordering, and general online shopping where coupons are used. It put 2 coupons on my shocks, so I got all 3 new Monroe Spectrums for $27 each and free shipping to AK. The 4th was free that day during the 4 hour sale. I love online shopping Christmas day and the day after.

I'm about to put the Coopers on my Expy onto my F150.... They are some loud SOB's, but they have tread from hell like Brew's do. Since yours are Coopers, I assume they are made in the USA? Never seen a Cooper that wasn't, anyway.....

I'm still wondering why the 5.4 is a draw back?
