I own a nice loaded 1977 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham 4d Sedan. I am looking around to find some good winter tires for my car.

Unfortunately, most of the tires I find are too small for my car. I need 225/75R15 and I am currently looking into the Cooper Weather-Master S/T and the Hercules Polar Trax. I can't find much information out on the Internet about those two brands.

Does anybody in here now anything about the Cooper's and the Hercules I mentioned above? And how do these tires stack up to the Michelin's, Dunlop’s and whatever?

I drive my car on mostly dry pavement. We do get the occasional winter storm with icy and somewhat snow-covered roads, but this happens only rarely.

I like the Cooper Weather-Master S/T for it's price, but if the Cooper has lousy qualities on dry/ icy/ wet/ some snow- like roads, I'd like to go elsewhere...

Is there anyone in here that can give me some pointers about good tires and especially information about the Cooper and the Hercules I talked about earlier?

I'd love to talk to anyone who can help!

Yours sincerely,
