I like them fine for a street radial on a car that gets driven regularly. Have a good look to them compared to many of the cheesy looking, more-generic radials out there, and inexpensive to replace.

They're the only game in town for inexpensive RWL tires these days. They've got a reasonable sized lettering, and a simple name. No "Super Defender Pro Grand Prix G/T" in billboard letters down the side. I don't mind Cooper Cobras, but given the cobra name, they usually end up looking best on Mustangs of some sort. Goodyear has inexplicably left this market again with the passing of the Eagle GTII's, which really had lettering that was almost too big. Firestone? INDY 500 billboards don't work for most cars.

My wish? I would like to see someone take the old '80s Goodyear Eagle GT molds (square shoulders, blocky tread) and produce some with old small Polyglas/Wide Tread style lettering. Like a no-size Polyglas, just with "Eagle GT" instead of "Polyglas GT". 215/70/14, 215/65/15, 245 or 255/60/15. You could even do the OWL on the reverse side, for all of the guys restoring Monte SS's, Buick GN's, and '80's Vettes and Camaros.

I agree that bias looks best, but there are times when folks would like radials. There should be more options - at least BFG is consistent and there when needed.
