Re: Trim Rings

I wanted the wider rings, & couldn't find any that weren't dented or curb-rashed to death.

I settled for the narrower, much more common, & definitely cheaper ones.

The look kind of grew on me, and I quit looking for the wide ones.

I found three rings at first, and stopped in my tire store, and they gave me a full set. Free $$$. They had several of the narrow ones, and said they can't ever find the wide ones, either.

Yes I know the 3' are hard to find but I have a line on a set. How do you like the Cooper Cobra tires on your truck?

Re: Trim Rings

Not a bad tire at all.

My truck isn't driven daily, and they seem flat-spot a little with sitting for a week or a month, but it's such a pleasure to get to drive it when I can find or take time to do it, that it's only a small annoyance. Probably, most any tire would do that.

Truck's been out in the weather & the sun for almost three years now, and they seem to resist sun-checking pretty well, and clean-up pretty nice with very little effort.
