Good comments, all.
Cooper makes off-brand tires, but their own Cooper brand seems to be well-regarded, judging from forum posts, particularly the CS4s, which when they came out were the subject of a substantial Motor Trend review:

They concentrate on the replacement market, not OEM.
The Nokian winter tires, and the 'all-weather' WR G2s get mostly high praise from the user posts on online forums I've found using Google. I am also wary of a new-to-market tire. Murphy's (Joe's shop) is a repair shop, but does sell tires (previously I've always bought tires at a dedicated tire shop). Maybe he got a deal on the eNTYREs, or maybe he just likes them.
Reading reviews at places like TireRack can be frustrating, as there are as many opinions as there are users.
