See post #30 for white letter out. 4S means P rated for that tire.
I have a few hundred miles on mine and they are doing great. Except for road driving my off roading has been restricted to my back yard and a couple of new construction sites.
Not sure how to analyze rain traction. I don't try to take corners at 80mph when it rains. I've been in a couple of downpours. For the speeds I drive nothing unusual happens. Not trying to be a smart ass but the only person I know that actually has analyzed rain traction builds and raced BMWs and he would take a tire around an Interstate exit in the rain at 80mph. The only time I have ever had a tire hydroplane was when it was bald with carcass showing. I learned that lesson real fast about 40 years ago. Honestly though, I'm not even sure what a modern tire that performs badly in the rain is supposed / likely to do. I do know one thing, if it couldn't perform at the typical posted speeds and then some margin above that I would not use it.
I would like to know what pressure people are running these tires at. I am currently at 40 ( rated 44 max ). I have not done the chalk line test.
I have heard nothing but good about Cooper tires from everyone I meet even though they were never on my radar before this forum. If that 65K warranty holds out, I will be very happy if initial use is any indication.
