I know that the Toyos are segmented mold vs clamshell mold. Looking at the pictures of the Coopers it looks like they may be clamshell molded but I can't tell for sure.

Segmented mold is how performance tires and now most luxury/touring tires are made. It provides for better balance, wear, and handling.
