Tires Cooper or NANKANG

The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.

I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.

I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.

* Wet Traction - 9.5/10

* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.

* Dry Traction - 8/10

* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.

* Snow Traction - 9/10

* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.

* Comfort/Noise 8/10

* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.

Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.

Copper rugged trek. Have them on my 2500 duramax. Definitely like better them better then ko2s and dura tracks.

I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.

Cooper Endeavor Plus are some pretty good tires, I put a set on our AWD Equinox back in June, I'm happier with these than the Michelin Latitudes they replaced, and they are pretty good on slippery roads. I tested them last night on an icy spot during a snow storm and the ABS didn't kick in until well past what I normally brake at on icy roads.

I had cooper AT for 30k on my Tacoma (truck was totaled) then put the Toyo AT on my current Tacoma with about 35k on them.

Cooper was smoother and better for on road driving but the Toyo was the clear winner off road.

I'm now in the Cooper (Discoverer) tire camp on this one. Quiet, perform great on roads and fine for light/medium off-road and they look good, and Made in America!

I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).

The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.

Those tires are death traps in snow and ice. No sipes, no studs, hard compound... You're going to be on hockey pucks.
