Tires Cooper or GT Radial
For myself and my family, I highly recommend GT Radial having used them in Indonesia when we lived there (it's originally an Indonesian brand).
I have the Adventuro ATX's on my Frontier and have 0 complaints. 17,000 miles on them and still showing tons of tread left, no vibes and no noise. They were beasts in the snow and still ride perfectly smoothly. I would 100% buy them again.
I just got my second set of Cooper Discoverers (225/70/R15).
The updated version are more aggressive looking and there’s a little more road noise now, but not bad.
My old set performed extremely well in rain, mud, snow, ice, and regular daily driving. They also outlasted their high mileage rating, and I’m averaging 27mpg on my 2016. Zero complaints.
I have had them since the end of February this year. Drives pretty quiet and has excellent road handling and performance, especially when raining. I am pretty happy with them.
I put these on my 2024 Ford Maverick....Love them! Great look and feel, very grippy even on wet roads. Recently had a blowout due to me getting too close to a jersey wall (my fault no biggie). Took a chunk out of the sidewall. The tire ran flat with only the remaining sidewall between the rim and the asphalt for a good 100' then gravel briefly. The quality and thickness was evident in how quiet, controlled, and responsive the tire was till I was able to pull over; with no damage to the rim due to driving on it.
I went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my’n as stock replacement and very happy with my choice so far.
My primary concern was handling of snow and wet slush on the highway and so far this winter they’ve done excellent. The tread design does have a lot small sipes/cuts that work great for just that. Did not notice any increase in noise from them either.
On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).
I have a set of Cooper ATS already on my 2019, They're alright, They're decent in the snow but I don't really need them. They're just loud and eat gas And sling, salt and mud all over the truck, i don't really do a lot of off-roading. I just mainly bought them to make the truck look good.
i had these tires on thru the previous two winters. i put them back on for this winter and the performance is severely diminished. they have about 16k miles on them. i won't buy them again.
I absolutely despised Cooper Discoverer tires. I had two sets on my Frontier and they kept feathering. I had no issues with alignment, suspension or air pressure. I eventually switched to cheap Starfire Solaris HT and they were great. Tire issues gone
