Tires Cooper or OEM Volkswagen

These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.

I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.

I have them on my 4Runner replacing prior at3 4s tires. Took a chance on them. I find them even better the prior at3 4s - as quiet as the original stocks. smooth easy riding on highway, outstanding in snow and slush - had them in a mini blizzard the first week. slightly more “aggressive” aesthetic if that’s your thing. Very happy with them.

Hands down the Cooper Cobra Instinct out of those listed.

I have a 2017 cx5 gt. I live in Pennsylvania with horrible roads, so I went with cooper discoverer enduramax, and I love them. Performed great in the two snow storms so far.

The cooper tires, just had them installed on my work van, good traction, no noise

Incredible in mud and snow. I have them on an f350 dually. It will literally go anywhere on the jobsite. I also put them on my personal f150 I was so impressed. I've plowed through 3' snow drifts with ease.

Coopers are good tires if you rotate them they literally last forever. I’ve managed to get 80-100,000 good kms out of the discoverer stt pro and st max. Ran AT3s as well and got even more as you don’t really have big lugs to lose anyway.

I got 50,000 on a set of these and never rotated them. They were howling pretty bad because of it, and totally my fault. I went in to replace them and the tire shop said I had plenty of tread to go farther, I just couldn't stand the howl anymore.

I have had three cooper tires with tread separation. Never buying them again
