Cooper Zeon 2XS

Anyone running these tires? I'm only buying American made parts for my Z and the tire selection seems to be Cooper and Goodyears only.

I have them on all 4 corners .
They are a good all round tire with a nice looking tread pattern.I have them in the 245/50/16 size.This size is classed as an "oddball" size over here in the U.K and none of my local tire depots stock them,had to mail order them from Scotland.
I'm sure you guys in the U.S will have no trouble finding them and I dare say for a much better price than I paid.
Cooper is a well respected brand over here in England and a very popular choice with our American car enthusiasts.
All the best,Mark.

Had them...Hated them... No dry or wet traction... Feels like Lego tires... I could spin my car around in first gear doing 10 in my stock Z... Did one 15 sec burnout and the tires melted away

All four corners here but in my experience general dry traction is great, but wet traction sucks, snow forgetttaboutit.

They will only be on the front wheels. BFG is french now and Yokohama is ***. Even though they may or may not be made here in the USA, the profits go overseas. Tough call...If a Texas company made tires, I'd buy the hell outta em.

There are a lot of people in the US who's livelyhood depends on these "foreign" companies.

Welcome to a global market.
