Tires Cooper or NANKANG

My coopers are great. Handle great in the rain and snow, not a lot of road noise and look great on my suburban.

Cooper Discoverer AT3. The XLT model adds more sidewall beef.

Ran Discoverer AT3s on my 4Runner and they were amazing, very comfortable/quiet and didn't mess with my gas mileage like some of the chunkier all-terrains tend to.

I was not able to find falkens for the size I was looking so switched from Yoko a052 to Nankangs… very happy so far … was able to close the gap in my group by 3 seconds …

I've run both. Both are good. I prefer the Falken overall due to the directness of the steering feel and how well I can place the car. Nankangs very easy to drive.

I’m a fan of the cooper atts I put on my awd outlander have a decent warranty as well.

I've always used Cooper Tires on all my 4*4 and AWD vehicles. Quite pricey but outstanding mileage and grip - the grip goes from great to phenomenal depending on the tire you choose

They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.

215 on a 9.5.. i must however say that falken 512s stretch much better than these(although i was happy with how my nankangs looked on the c5's)

Wish I knew about cupping. Put new tires on in January and they must have cupped, the cabin is loud as hell. Nankang NS-20 235/35/19 - were nice thru about mid February.
