Tires Cooper or GT Radial
I’m happy with Cooper Rugged Trek.
Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).
I am a Jeep girl and use Coopers exclusively - I know I am late to the party, and I am running ATX type tires for occasional off road, but I love Coopers. Put them on my dd car, too.
I would look at the cooper zeon crossrange (made in USA), similar price but from a much more reputable brand.
These tires are the most grippy tires I've ever had, including the most traction on wet roads I've ever had. I rotated them regularly. Anyways, Cooper Zeon RS3 - fantabulous performance in dry and wet, at the expense of relatively short lifespan.
They did great in mild snow and have stood up well on treadwear with good range. I didn’t have high hopes for them but they have been great so far.
Cooper Discoverer's are my new favorite for what it's worth, on my second set. I abuse LT tires; long hi-way commutes, towing, and a lot of off-road.
GT Radial is be the cheapest tires I would consider.
I bought coopers about 3 years ago for my Silverado 1500. I will be honest this isn't an apples to apples comparison, I bought 4 ply (first mistake) AT3 4s's. They are cracking between the tread blocks on all 4 tires. Cooper won't warranty them saying it's just cosmetic, but they are deep cracks that go all the way around the tires between tread blocks on the inside and outside. I don't use chemicals or tire shine, and they are always kept at the appropriate pressures. They also lose chunks of tread every time i take them on the gravel roads in the mountains. I'm not happy with them at all, so my recommendation is to go with the K03's.
GT Radial SX2s are the spec tire for the SoCal 86 cup and they are pretty shitty to be honest but they hold up well
