Seems like I remember you having some issues.
These are just shy of a year old now and are smooth and roll true. And that's with Cragar unilugs. I'm seeing a bit of browning, worse on the 60 series rear tires than the 70 series front tires, but on both. When I was trying to decide which rwl tires to buy, most of the brands available (other than BFG) seemed to have a fairly aggressive tread, which I assumed would be noisy. I was correct. The Coopers whine some. Coming from many year old, rock hard Radial T/A's, I was used to lighting up the rears fairly easily in 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. That's not the case with these Coopers. They offer
way more traction than the old T/A's.
