Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

I just put on the Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail AT last week on my Disco 5. I have done about 150miles on them, mixed surface streets and highway speed (75mph) but no off road yet. They have been good so far, Im happy with them as for road comfort and noise. My significant other didn't notice any difference at all and that confirms my thoughts on good comfort and little noise change. :)

I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).

The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.

Mine came with the potenza s005. The performance was great but the tire wore out with just 8k miles. To give some prospective, I replaced them with Michelin PS4S and at 6k miles they still measure 7/32 from the factory 9/32. The PS4S provided similar grip levels too.

Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.

Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.

So I just got these Cooper Strongholds put on my truck. Went from a P tire so I was glad to get a nice rugged tire on. They are practical for what I need and looking forward to seeing how they perform in the snow. So far in the bit of mud I’ve been in they have great traction. They ride nice and are not super loud. I’d recommend these tires.

I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...

I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.

Budget Coopers are horrible tires.

These tires are awful on my car. They're not performance tires by an means. They're meant to be driven and babied like a granny. In snow, you'd have to drive 30 km/hr or else it'll start sliding. In rain, it'll hydroplane after 90 km/hr. And in dry condition, it's adequate but loud on highways.
