“any experience with Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring A/S? My gf's AWD 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer (very fun but thirsty for its size car) have Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring A/S. The Lancer's OEM tires were very harsh and loud and surprisingly are rated as LRR in a painful attempt for Mitsubishi to get its economy up. Replacing the stock Yokos with Coopers really helped. Incredibly smooth and quiet, not to mention improves the driving dynamics immensely especially in rain. So my new 2018 Volt LT has only 5000k mile on it and I'm looking to swap and keep my Energy Savers A/S for Cooper CS5 Ultra touring for winter. My driving needs require strong winter grip as I live in a rural area with poorly maintained infrastructure. My second option are kelly A/S, both are budget friendly priced from my local small town mechanic.”
