Goodyear buys Cooper Tire

So I guess this may mean that we will be seeing less of a preponderance of "Cooper Cobra" white lettered tires.

There are many more thousands of T/A tires out there than the Cobras.

Agreed, but man, those Cobras are tough on the eyes!

I don't do white letters at all, but the Cobras are a better gripping tire than a T/A.

I couldn't agree more. But man, I wish they had put more effort into the look of the sidewall, lol. I've been especially fond of my Cooper whitewalls over the years and LOVED the 3/8" thin strip they made years ago. I ran those on my Park Avenues and LeSabres.

Who else makes the thin 3/8” whitewall?
