Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring Tire Review

Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring Tire Review: As far as compact commuter cars go, my 2013 Kia Forte5 is an appliance like any other. It's the car I leave behind when I pick up different vehicles to test each week, and even though the odometer only shows about 37,000 miles (60,000 kilometers) most of those were racked up on the highway and took a heavy toll on the tires that have been on the car since new. With plans to get a new set of all-seasons in the not-too-distant future, I jumped at the opportunity to test out the Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tires to find out what they’re made of.

I got them about two months ago, they do very well in the rain which was my main concern. I'm happy with the purchase.

Had these on my 2010 Malibu for a couple years now, almost 40k miles on them and they still look good. One is wore pretty bad on inside from needing front end alignment and not catching it, but when they get replaced, it will be with the same tires. Great all around tires for the money and they wear really good.

I love how Cooper always has a wide variety available for any vehicle. Plus, as long as they are rotated, the tires can last a while. My grandfather loves the CS5 ultras that he put on his Sorento. Because of that, we replaced the crappy Michelins on my Tahoe with Cooper Evolutions. Loving them so far! My mother is getting some CS5 ultras for her Odyssey. I have high hopes for them.

Had a set, CS4, on a Jetta years ago, best tire I'd ever owned. Quiet, grippy wet/dry, and even wearing. New ride is about due for a set and these CS5 will be on my short list!

Love my CS5's. Got about 60 k on them now and will be getting another set. Good value too.

I was needing information about these tires, for almost exactly this car.

Thank you!

An All American Tire from an All American Company. If you have grand touring car and do a lot of highway driving then these are the best bang for the buck Touring Tires you can get and best part is they're made in the USA.

They did well on my CRV, bought another set.

Just when you think you know a guy he goes and installs all season CS5 ultra touring tires that are impressively quite and quite composed on the road. Damn them for absorbing all the bumps that once left Dan coming off like one of those guys on a mattress commercial before switching to the adjustable firmness of a Tempur-Pedic!

I’ve used Cooper Tires on my trucks & suvs successfully,
Just thought I’d try a set out for my daughters 2013 Nissan Altima.

Just went through a set.. great tires....but only got 20k till they got slippery in the rain. 06 dodge magnum....trying Firestone firehawk all seasons now

Just put them on my Suzuki SX4. 17 inch. First impressions: quiet. Smooth for a car that needs new suspension.

[kevinwhiting]

Just got these on my o6 civic coupe loveem

[hankwpei]

shouldn't city driving take more toll on the tires than highway?

[livinsuperloud]

I have these on my car, I love them :)

[kohios]

I just got 4. I hope it was a good idea 2008 Suzuki reno. After market rims Vioxx. I'll keep track this time. On how they last. And rotate them when the time is right.

[jimperdue]

Are these directional tires? I see Inside and Outside on the sidewall.

[osvaldo]

Damn I’ve had a lot of different tires like pirelli p7s, Goodyear eagle sport, continental procontact, and these by have the best grip. Slightly over my old procontacts

[joesawesomeworld]

I have these tires I love them mine have 20k on them now no wear showing I’ll buy again
