Default Cooper Zeon 2XS - opinions?

Someone out there has to be running these on their C5. They are very similar in appearance, and have a better treadwear rating than the Michelin Pilot sports. And they're made in the USA!!

I just put a set on my wifes car yesterday. So far she is real happy. On my test drive they were smooth and quite. Seems like they grip better too.

ANY new tire will seem to ride smoother and quieter, and grip better than ANY old, worn-out tire.

Very true, But......these tires are quieter than the brand new Bridgestone tires I previously used. Very good tire for the price. They don't seem to "high speed corner" as well as the Bridgestone. If you are not going to drive aggressively,(80mph+ going into turns) good choice
