Prices are mounted/balanced, etc. 1. goodyear integrity $56 - 460/A/B, 50,000 mi warranty 2. Uniroyal Tigerpaw Aqua $69 - 560/A/B, 80,000 mi warranty 3. BF Goodrich Control TA M65 $69 - 500/A/B, 65,000 mi warranty. 4. Cooper Cobra GT $64 - 440/A/B, 50,000 mi warranty. My inclination is to go with the goodyear for its low price or the Uniroyal for long life for the dollar spent. Any opinions/experinece on any of these tires? BTW...these are not for my Contour...for a Windstar, but I still thought it worthwhile to seek opinions here... 1996 Contour GL Sport, Zetec, MTX 1995 Contour GL, Zetec, MTX

Cooper also makes: Avon Mastercraft Roadmaster Dean Starfire Plus they contract manufacture for a host of others including Pirelli, Michelin, Sears (Viper), etc. Go to www.coopertire.com to view all of their performance tire offerings. They look like pretty good, aggressive tires. Many people say they are good handling tires. American owned and made too! Goodyear owns Kelly Springfield. Dan B.
