why are Cooper tires so hard to find?

I'm planning to buy a set of Cooper AT3s. I've read rave reviews online, and it seems like a great tire, along with Cooper's other tires. And yet, no one around me stocks them, or even Coopers at all. A few places were willing to order them, Discount Tire for example, but most just suggested BFGs or something else. Are Coopers a regionally popular tire? Seems odd that no one can get them. Even tire rack doesn't carry them.

 

Discount Tire's gonna be ur best bet... Just have them order em up for u. We sold a lot of AT3s and ATPs here in Cali when I used to work there. Seemed like a popular tire.

 

Our local farm supply store sells Cooper Tires. Just a suggestion.

 

We have a bunch of tire shops that carry Coopers in my neck of the woods. Pretty popular around here.

Discount Tire is a good place to buy them online as others have mentioned.

 

I just bought these tires as well. I showed my local Discount tire the online sale and they honored it for me.

 

Go to Discount, that is where I got mine.

 

Cooper is a smaller tire company than the likes of Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, etc., so they have a smaller marketing team and smaller distribution network. Simple as that.

 

My local Discount Tire has them, I'd try them as everybody else has mentioned.
