Taemian,
Just remember you are putting these on a Marauder, not a Mustang.
Potholes and Marauders don't like each other...
Rear tires need to have a +5% Circumference over the fronts.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of rice,
I will fear no turbo for displacement is with me.
Well I have had the Cooper Zeon Rs3-G1's on for three months now. Maybe about 600 miles.
I like them. They feel right on the car. They are not loud nor are they brutally hard. They feel very competent in the turns. I have not pushed the car to its limits with these tires yet. I am a bit spirited in my driving style. No problem with hydroplaning.
I went from my second set of stock model BFG's to these at 33.5K miles. It would be nice if I got a bit more than 17K out of a set. Not too concerned though as age comes usually into play here. I have not gone from a new set of BFG's to a new set of Coopers but it felt good switching to these new rubbers from the worn but still legal BFG's.

This is a great visual of what the tires would look like, as well as all the numbers including percentage difference.
I put fronts as Tire 1, rears as tire 2.
Easy peasey!

How are the front Cooper tires wearing? Did you use car fixers alignment specs?
