Tires Cooper or OEM FORD
Cooper Discoverer All Terrain is what I run on my Ram 2500. Great looking tire and a set of 4 was 660 plus like $18 per tire install at Walmart.
New tires are Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT 285/75R17, which have a 129 load rating (4,080lbs) and only weigh 56lbs. They are 11.2” wide so hopefully don’t rub like the BFG’s (will be installed next week), and weighing 10lbs less per tire is a big difference which will help the MPG. And a 60k mile warranty is nice.
Always go AT tires, they provide the best of all worlds, especially when you don't take the vehicle off road. I swear by Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's and BFG T/A KO3's
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.
my Cooper Strongholds do pretty well in ice, haven't had much experience with them in snow though.
Cooper weathermaster st2 was by far the worst winter tires I've ever ran. Cooper zeon rs3 was the worst summer/all season.
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.
