Cooper Cobras are the same compound and tread pattern as Mickey Thompson STs. According to the techs I spoke to at Cooper and Mickey Thompson, the MT STs and Cooper Cobras are the same compound and tire, but have different patterns on the sidewalls.
The Coopers are about 30% less expensive than Mickey Thompsons, and in my area are in stock at Discount Tire, but it takes a few weeks to get the MTs.
As an aside, Cooper Tire owns the Avon and Mickey Thompson brands. |
There are differences in the tread pattern between the MY S/Ts and the Cooper Cobras that are substantial. Despite people contending they are the same tire, only the carcass is the same. The sidewall design and the entire tread surface are different with the MT having tread features that enhance performance.
