Tires Cooper or OEM FORD

I use good all season Cooper Tires on my Fusion and get around pretty good in the snow. Ice is always the wildcard.

I am running Cooper's from tire rack.

20k on them, look great, wear hardly noticable.

There's some evidence that EVs are harder on tires because they're heavier and accelerate better, but at 10k on my very, very heavy Lightning I'm not seeing that, probably because I drive like a grandma.

Yes. Good road, snow and decent wet tire. Wear well and they are decently priced in todays mad expensive world.

I'll add my first two years of ownership review. The past two years the Maverick has hauled everything I've needed without issues.

Should be able to find michelin X-ice non studded and studded, then a 3/4-1 ton truck I can recommend the cooper snow claws are great, add studs if you want for extra ice bite.

Can't speak on Seattle, but I had a set of Discoverer AT3 XLTs on my Dakota and my Sierra and loved em. Never had an issue. Plus they were made in thevUSA which was a plus in my mind.

We have American made Cooper on our four vehicles, as decent tires.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.

Do not purchase the Walmart coopers…. I have a set of 285 70 17 and one wheel took 16oz to balance on stock wheels. The other three required 5-7 oz each.
