I appreciate everyone taking the time to input their opinion and experiences here. I have to admit it was like 7 or 8 years ago on the cooper tires. I had never seen anything like it. I didn't know any tires came like that, and the mechanic said they all were. It blew my mind. But that was years ago.
There is a place just like 2 miles from me that sells them, they also have kumhos. They burned me bad about 10 years ago, but I would maybe be willing to try them again. Every shop messes up sometimes. I had them put on some alum wheels and they over torqued them. I was going down the road and some of the studs sheared off on my right front. By the time I got stopped all but one were gone. I had a friend trailer me home (it was a Sunday, the place was closed) and I changed all the studs myself. I also re-torqued all of the nuts on the other wheels. I went to the place on Monday and showed them what happened and how everything was mega tight so maybe they could not do it to someone else that just spent $800 on wheels. They didn't apologize, thank me for letting them know, or offer to pay for the studs or nuts or anything. Quality. That was 10 years ago though, and isn't owned by cooper tire. It is just the closest place that sells them.
Thanks for all the replies.

I have mtz's and am real happy with them. They ride great and are suprisingly quiet. You may want to look at them as well.
Good Luck with your decision.

37s look sick though. I may wish I had done them later on. Thanks for the heads up on them. Why are you taking them off?
