Following up from their announcement at last year's SEMA Show, Cooper Tire recently invited us to their test facility near San Antonio, TX, to experience their new products for performance cars. The ZEON RS3-A and RS3-S will be available through Cooper Tire dealers in April, just in time for Spring's road challenges.
The original ZEON RS3 tire was developed in conjunction with ROUSH Performance for their ROUSH Stage 3 Mustang. Limited sizes were available for other cars, but that issue is being addressed with the new models. The RS3-A high performance, all season tire will be released in 31 sizes, with more to follow. The RS3-S high performance, summer tire will be available in 21 sizes.

It's easy to install with no wires to cut, splice or connect. It utilizes all the factory accessories and sensors and a custom ECU re-flash (Diablo Sport Tuner) is included so no tuning is required. At the heart of the kit is a T4 custom ceramic ball bearing turbo while a Spearco front mount intercooler fills up the Mustang GT's front bumper.
