Tires Cooper or GENERAL TIRE

I have dedicated snow tires that go on November 1st and come off April 1st. I don't get stuck. Cooper Evolution Winter are my favorite tread style, but several tire makers have the same tread design. The ones made in Japan are 13/32 deep and ride well.

Yes you have cheap Chinese tires. Starfire's aren't good at anything and Cooper is better but they are still well behind premium tires. The difference is crazy, all seasons (not all created equally) are usually a sketchy mess when conditions get bad but a snow tire will have tons of confidence even on ice.

Michelin X-Ice. Haven't found anything better. No amount of Canadian snow or ice has been able to stop my SUV and when those are on, and I live in a hilly area.\n\nI have General Artimaax on my other car, they are ok, but road noise is insane. Won't buy those again.

A year or two ago I put Cooper Road+Trail on our 4Runner, and I’ve been thrilled. They’re a mild AT so they’re super quiet on the road. I’ve cruised plenty of forest service/dirt/gravel roads and they’ve had good traction, and no damage so far.

Been using General Altimax Arctics and love them vs non-studded tires.

I just put COOPER DISCOVERER ROAD+TRAIL AT SL on my 22 Lariat PB. I like them. They are quiet and same good in dirt/mud. I’m 90% pavement but then some dirt/mud on my property. I have about 11,000 miles on them so far.

I have General Altimax Artics. Because they are seasonal they last a long time.

The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.

I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.

Had Faulken tires and the traction was amazing, wore them down to 2/32 and still felt good but mechanic said I need new tires. I bought the Cooper Adventurer All Season Tires...Since getting this done, I consistently lose traction and feel like I’m sliding.
