Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

Great tires. Fantastic for wheeling. Remarkably quiet for mud tires when new. After about 40,000km they start to get more road noise as the softer outer rubber compound wears off.

I run those on my xj. They're good beefy tires and I haven't had trouble with them yet in the mud. Lot of road noise but it's to be expected.

The Bridgestone is going to be faster. The nankang would probably wear a little bit better call and is more heat tolerant. But not as fast when cold, and also heavier. If you were happy with the Bridgestone I would have to say probably stay there

I personally like Cooper tires, they’ve always delivered the goods for me personally, but that’s not much to go on.

But I will say in general, tires of equivalent price (not on sale) I would generally choose Cooper over Toyo and the primary reason being I find Coopers are a better value for money and Toyos in my personal experience have more road noise than Cooper tires.

I have them on my ND2 and they're legitimately better than the stock summer bridgestones.

these tires well, may be worth the price. and after today, I've decided to keep them for the next round of tires. definitely not overkill. i would have been in a ditch today if i didn't have the traction i needed. i almost slid off the road 3 times, and that's a positive given the road conditions.

I switched to a hybrid highway/gravel tire made by Cooper and sold through Les Schawb after 9 years running ATs on my Sprinter. The difference in road noise is profound.

Went from Ecopia Summer tires to all-weather and dropped 7mpg avg on a prius. Good tires, but interesting the mpg drop was so vast.

Once I got a chance to try them in the rain, I realized there was a problem compared to Michelin. I was fishtailing all over the place on a wet road. That’s never happened to me with Michelin.
