Tires Cooper or NANKANG

Great tires. Fantastic for wheeling. Remarkably quiet for mud tires when new. After about 40,000km they start to get more road noise as the softer outer rubber compound wears off.

I run those on my xj. They're good beefy tires and I haven't had trouble with them yet in the mud. Lot of road noise but it's to be expected.

I personally like Cooper tires, they’ve always delivered the goods for me personally, but that’s not much to go on.

But I will say in general, tires of equivalent price (not on sale) I would generally choose Cooper over Toyo and the primary reason being I find Coopers are a better value for money and Toyos in my personal experience have more road noise than Cooper tires.

I switched to a hybrid highway/gravel tire made by Cooper and sold through Les Schawb after 9 years running ATs on my Sprinter. The difference in road noise is profound.

Out of these options.

Cooper 10/10

Personally, I like Uniroyals but Cooper is good too.

Coopers are WAY better tires than the Uniroyal or Westlake...

I swapped out the primacy's with nankang ns-20s and I feel like the car is less responsive. For instance, when quickly changing lanes on the freeway I feel like the ride is more spongy. They're way better for traction, but I feel less agile.

I bought the RS3-G1s in 205/55R16 for my 2016 Sportwagen (stock was 225/40R18, have also had 195/65R15 snow tires and 195/65R15 LRR all seasons on it) - and they are EXTREMELY rough riding tires compared to any of the other tires, including the 18" P-Zero Neros. I almost pulled the wheels and tires off and listed them for sale within the first 500 miles. I had specifically gone 16" as a reasonable compromise of tire selection, price, looks, comfort, and gas mileage as the 18's had been a ~4MPG hit compared to the 15s, but any dreams of comfort went out the window with the Coopers. YMMV, but I wouldn't buy these again and regret doing so.
