Tires Cooper or Giti

I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.

I have Motomaster Eliminators (3peak whatever made by Cooper) and they're great for city driving and the odd jaunt out of town. I drive an SUV with 4wd and put in maybe 15000km/year so they don't have much wear and I don't have to worry about swapping tires every year.

I replaced them with cooper road and trail AT tires. They are amazing in all conditions and whisper quiet.

I've had great experience in the snow so far with the Road & Trail and wondering if the Stronghold does similarly for LT sizes

I got 4 cooper endeavor tires for my Subaru Crosstrek for $660 installed with alignment a couple weeks ago. They’re all seasons and my friends who know what they’re talking about all said they are excellent.

My '02 Outback also rarely put wear on its tires. I drove that one much more offroad too and it had Cooper Discoverers that held up extremely well in all weather - snow, rock roads, summer asphalt, muddy parking lots.

My wife’s L322 on the coopers is stone cold boring in snow here in Colorado. She’s from the south so she’s always a bit nervous in the snow but she just commented to me yesterday that she feels so confident in that thing with those tires (I had made a comment that I thought the Coopers had worn in to be quite loud an she rebutted saying she doesn’t notice nor care due to how they perform.

I sized up and really liked that decision. I’m mid though on my cooper discoverer rugged trek. Good wear, lowish noise for a “m/t” (basically at), good not great on dirt, rain performance has been decent, breaking is good, but the snow performance has been just ok.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.

Do not purchase the Walmart coopers…. I have a set of 285 70 17 and one wheel took 16oz to balance on stock wheels. The other three required 5-7 oz each.
