Hey Kelly, notice what tires are on my car. I work for M/T. Or I did indirectly. I work for Cooper standard automotive. A diviion of cooper ite. Last year I think it was, cooper bought M/T. OK, here comes the bad news..... Cooper tire just sols our divion to an investment group for 1.16 Billion dollars. Notice my pinke finger int he crook of my mouth when I said that!!! Anyway, I had an in... not anymore. I hope they still sponsor me next year. I went all year on one set of slicks that I normally go through 2 sets!!!
ahh ok yea Darrin told me about the buy out & all. Its now Cooper, M/T and Avon tires all into one. its madness over there right now as Cooper is "redesigning" the management structure, yadda yadda.
That sucks, i hope they still sponsor you! From what they tell me though, their thinking is, everyone already uses our tires, why should we give them away. But my buddy usually gives my friends pretty decent deals. Sometimes he'll do the buy one get one. Hes the guy that drives the big rig around to all the NHRA/IHRA races. I will be seein him tomorrow so i'll see what i can do for ya'll.
