My apology, I misspoke.
After my Cooper tires wore out I changed to the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T tire in the 245/60R15 size up front.
It was reported the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T and the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T where the same tire except for a small difference in the tread pattern. Cooper Tires also manufactured tires under several other brand names including Mickey Thompson. However it was my understanding Goodyear had acquired the Mickey Thompson brand when it finalized its purchase of Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.. Today I'm not sure of the relationship, or if any changes.
