Default Cooper LifeLiner SLE touring tires OK?

Had brake job done on my 2000 Mazda Protege ES last
week

Mechanic said I will need new tires soon.

He recommends:

Cooper Life Liner Touring in 195-55-R16 with V speed
rating

Advice on Cooper tires?

That's too much money for what you get. Go to Les Schwab and get a set of
R4s, or if you want long tread life a set of 800s.

well, I don't know where you are or where the OP lives but here around
Houston, I've never heard of Les Schwab now, his crooked brother Chuck on
the other hand....

Anyway, a bit more info on the tires would likely be helpful so he doesn't
go in having to try to act like he knows everything and then admit he
doesn't know who the manufacturer is of either tire. Are you referring to
Pirelli P800's? I thought I kept up on this a bit but I don't have a clue,
help me......R4's?

You are right Chris. Sorry, I have this local mentality and forget that not
everyone lives in the West. Les Schwab Tires are only in the western U.S.

I don't know anything about Cooper LifeLiner tires as I have never owned
them, and I don't know anyone that has had them on their car.

Most of Schwab's premium tires like the Proxes 4s are made by Toyo. The
rubber formulation on the Proxes 4 is similar to the T1-R. This tire is an
all season design that offers "300" tread life, a "A" mud and snow traction
rating, and comes in a "V" speed rating. Discount Tires also sells Toyo. I
don't autocross my Miata, and I have been very satisfied with my Proxes 4s.

Unless the OP has custom wheels, the correct tire size for a 2000 Mazda
Protege ES is 195-55-15.

Don't know anything about Cooper tires. FWIW, through the
years, I've used Michlin Pilots, the stock Bridgestones that
came on my '03, Toyo T1s, and a 15" Dunlop that is no longer
made. Of them all, I liked the Dunlops best (quiet and good
wet traction), followed by the Toyos. The Bridgestones were
noisy and only lasted 15,000 miles. The Michlins were very
noisy and had poor traction wet or dry. I/I've been happy
with the Toyo's I have now, but when I replace them next
year, I may go with the a Hankook (Ventus HRII H405 or K
106) or a Kumho (Ecsta SPT) - I'll be selling the car in May
so price is a consideration.
