Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

I’ve ran BFG KO2, Cooper AT3, Cooper STT Pro, and Cooper ST Maxx. All of them have been good tires but my favorite by far were the ST Maxx.

Replaced with Cooper AT3 XLT, which also have the RWL sidewall like the STT, and am over 50% tread at 38k miles. They are quieter, too.

Go with your Uncle Cooper. I’m on my second set on my Wrangler and have had great luck with them.

Running the cooper's in a 35x12.5 currently and they are LOUD as expected but they sure do look good lol ????

Coopers, they performed better year round mud-ice/snow over the BFG. I’ve been hearing a lot about balancing issues with BFG from the tire shop we use too.

Actual performance? Cooper AT3s (no joke, those tires are freaking amazing)

They’re a brilliant tire, and I can’t imagine the Defenders being superior to the intended use. Basing that off extensive experience with the old LTX MS2’s, which were also great. I guess my point is **Bridgestone is making really good tires right now**.

I was a fan of Bridgestones, had some turanza Serenities on my mk5 and before that my old 960 wagon.

I've had same experience with their blizzacks. Great traction, horrible road noise.

Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
