I just got a set of Cooper Zeon RS3-A and am very happy with the performance of them. However I am very turned off by how rough they ride over bumps. It kinda diminishes the purpose of having a "luxury" vehicle. I had a set of Coopers on my beater Eclipse and assumed the rough ride was a result of the Eclipes suspension. Anyone with these tires feel the rough is too rough? I'm at 30 PSI all around.

30psi... and they are still rough over bumps? That's quite a bit lower than recommended, especially for the fronts.

UTQG Treadwear rating of 500 is going to equate to a relatively hard tire compound, which may translate into a harder/harsher ride.

Yeah. Going to inflate them to 34 and learn to live with the rough ride. Regret not getting Grand Touring tires instead.

Having your tires with that little air pressure won't be good for your tire wear.

The tire shop that installed them filled all 4 to 30 PSI (I assume that's their default). I've been hesitant to pump more air in it due to my disappointment in the ride quality. Going to inflate later, 34 PSI sound about right?

ds03

Not sure if base is different, but Type S is 35 front, 32 rear.

Automatic transmission 32 psi front and rear.
Manual transmission 35 psi front and 32 psi rear.


Look at the tire and load information located near the striker of the driver door/in your owner manual for this kind of information.

Tried the Coopers for my previous set of tires. First thing I noticed was a substantial gas mileage drop by 3 to 5 MPG. Did a general search on the internet and found I wasn't alone in that department as there were similar mileage drop complaints. Though they handled well, I would have kept them if not for the decrease in gas mileage. I returned them after 30 days per Cooper's 45 day trial. Went to the Michelin Pilot AS/3's which have a much smoother ride, but crappy Winter traction.

Next time around, I'm going with the Continental DWS 06's.

i bought a set of these this spring also, all around a great tire, but i did notice a slight mileage drop, not huge and not enough to make me wanna return them

I have a set of these also. They are very grippy so it eats up MPG. They are also on the loud side, but I got them for 75 a piece so can't really complain
