Hankooks are made in Korea, Coopers in the USA, if that matters to you.

Don't always count on consumer reports. They rate behr paint from home depot as the best paint there is year after year. Anyone who has ever painted can tell you that's about the worst paint there is. I think consumer reports gets a throw back or something for reporting. Maybe I'm wrong but research other studys/reports for tires. Just my  :twocents:

Seeing how they review everything from paint to tires and kitchen knifes and just about everything else Im sure consumer reports will get it wrong every now and then. I do alot of research on most things i buy and that is just one of the resources i used and decided to list.

Cooper is the most prolific USA tire producer. They also make lots of private brand/label tires. Some of Les Schwab  tires are made by cooper.

CR borders on comical they are so far off on certain reviews.
Their irrational Toyota love is ridiculous.

Or is it? Plenty of Toyota owners back up CRs reviews!
