The Cooper road and trail plus are fantastic, I have them on mine.

I had the Cooper at3 4s, they were discontinued when it was time for new tires and allegedly replaced with the road and trail Plus so that's why I got them. At3 4s got me 65,000 miles, mostly highway, some trails, some snow. Wonderful in rain.

Pros: fantastic tires, wonderful in rain

Mileage: 104607 km

On my 4wd stuff, I’ve always used E-rated Cooper A/T’s (currently two trucks wearing Strongholds) with the same story. Never had to cash in on that warranty. Just drive em, check the pressure every couple days, and get after it.

Pros: never had to cash

Vehicle: Chevrolet

I'm a mechanic, but still personally only stick to Michelin/Continental/Nokian religiously on my cars. Our parts dept fleet at my shop are all fitted with Coopers in the summer and Nexens in the winter. I hate them. Noisy, garbage in the weather, garbage in the dry.

Cons: noisy, garbage all around

Had Faulken tires and the traction was amazing, wore them down to 2/32 and still felt good but mechanic said I need new tires. I bought the Cooper Adventurer All Season Tires...Since getting this done, I consistently lose traction and feel like I’m sliding.

Cons: lose traction, feel sliding

Vehicle: Ford Fusion

Mileage: 500 km
