      I haven't heard of any problems with Cooper. The "45" part just means the tire will look thicker on the wheel, the worst that will happen is that your speedo may be off by .0001 MPH.... anyone please correct me if I am wrong.
      Here's their website...:

      Cooper Home Page

      Hope this helps!

      Check out Tire Rack's deals. I got my Yokohama AVS ES 100s for $430 shipped to my door. Then mounting and balancing. You can get better tires than "Cooper".

      They're great! I'm running 215 45 R17's and they stick to road great!

      I wonder how they'll do at the track...

      EVS 100 "205 45 17"

      I have these tires and they are the shit, for all around use. They are quiet, handle, wear well, priced right, and look good!

      tire

      i looked at the tire rack and they have great prices. it looks like i can get a better tire for the same price as the cooper tires. if i have a 17x7 rim with 205/40/17 tires on them would a 215/45/17 tire fit onto that, i dotn know much about tires...
