Question Back to Cooper Zeons.........

Well It was time for new tires back in Feb. So I let the Manager at Discount talk me into getting some Kuhmo Mojave AT's instead of the Coopers, which I already had on the truck. I loved the look and ride of the Cooper's. Anyway, rode them for 10,000 miles and just didn't like them. Seemed light and flemsy to me. Had too much roll in the corners. So went back on Friday and paid the difference of $120 and the Cooper's are on their way.
Related question. After putting on those Kuhmo's......starting about 3 months ago, when breaking, it feels like the rear end is jumping at around 40 - 42 mph. It didn't do this before, and I put new pads and rotors on last year, Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads. So I am waiting to see if this stops after I get the new tires. If not, does this sound like a brake problem? Next thing that I thought of was the shocks. I put Monroe Sensa Trac shocks on two years ago. Not real impressed with them. Probably will go with Bilsteins in the future. Any of this ring a bell for anyone else?

If it's only when you apply the brakes you might have a warped rotor and that's just the speed needed to feel the difference...

I'm sorry to hear about the tires but I haven't heard one bad thing about the zeons yet

Im looking to get rid of my zeons i need something with sipes studs and lugs and a tougher tire 10 ply.I found the zeons a nice tire but very weak.

the only thing i found that was a cross between a mud and at tire was the goodyear wrangler duratrac and the mt baja atz both have nice reviews and good wear gonna go with the duratracs since the highways in alberta in winter are a snow packed ice rink the better safety is a must
