Cooper srx tires update#

Thus far, I am extremely pleased with my decision to purchase and will update my review as time progresses. They outperform the Michelins in Ice, Snow and Heavy Rain but will require some getting used to with spirited cornering as these tires are also 8 lbs heavier than the Premier…but they STICK! To be fair to Michelin…an honest comparison would be with the Defender, not the Premier’s.

You will notice a slight loss of performance handling, but a much plusher ride…so if you have an extra 200hp with a Livernois upgrade, these tires are not for you. Unlike the higher performance Michelin…these need a warm up to smooth out. These tires start out rough and need about 5 miles to warm up in below freezing temps…and will step up about 3psi at speed to the 38psi mark then they’re smooth as butter at 90mph. I first noticed how significantly quieter these tires are than the Premiers so much so, I now realize that I have some wind noise coming from my passenger door that requires some minor adjustment. In three days, I can report in at 1000 miles on the clock. I left in ice and sleet which cleared after 100 miles, then heavy rain that changed to snow and then blizzard conditions in the first 500 miles of driving. They balanced them perfectly I might add. I had the SRX’s installed and headed North to the UP of Michigan. I’m a road warrior and a “spirited” driver. I was planning on switching to the Michelin Defender as well. Previously replaced the junk OEM Hankooks at 15,000 miles.Īfter reading many, many reviews and being impressed with a set of Cooper AT3’s that I put on my 1999 Wrangler, I thought I would give the SRX’s a try on the Explorer.
