Default Cooper tires?
Does anyone know if Cooper offers an R-compound or anything that could be considered an "autox tire?"

Cooper tires RS3 would probably be the closest to what you're looking for..

Cooper tires are mediocre at best for auto-x or road racing

Thanks, yeah, I didn't think they offered anything. I'm just doing some research for work--trying to get grassroots motorsports / aftermarket car enthusiast type people's opinion of Cooper's tires.

FWIW, don't think I've ever seen one car at an autoX or track event with Coopers...

Cooper used to either distribute or produce Avon's r-comp while never a killer tire it was a good value
