Tires Cooper or OEM Volkswagen

I've never ran a car tire but I have had several sets of cooper cobras on a squarebody I rebuilt and my favorite I've ever ran was there STT mud tire. I could get around 55-60k miles out of those and they were aggressive with very little road noise for a mud tread. Unfortunately they quit making that style.

I use the Coopers on my suburban with a rear suspension kit and that’s Suburban handled like a dream. I was running 20 inch wheels on a 2003 suburban. I do it again any day no doubt no questions asked.

I use exclusively Cooper tires and have for over a decade, they're great tires

Never had any issues with their Discoverer AT3s or their evolution touring.

Yeah I got some all season coopers for my Highlander and they have been great.

Cooper is a WAY better tire than most. I've run 70k miles on two separate sets of Discoverer tires. I put Cooper on ALL my vehicles, on purpose. Having experience with Goodyear (mostly crap), Michelin (quality, but expensive), BFG (overrated and expensive), Kelly (utter trash) and others, Cooper has always been more reliably good, at a superior price point. Their value is stellar.

I used cooper weathermaster st on my wife’s dodge grand caravan. The lasted for 6 seasons. I put some winter evolution on my son’s Honda element this year. No issues with them.

I autocrossed for a season on Cooper RS3's and they were great. Not the best performance tire but I got a good deal on them and had no issues.

Of those three, I'd go with Coopers

Here is my experience with Cooper Tires. I purchased 4(180.00) each Cooper Discoverer A/T All-Season 275/55R20 60,000-mile warranty. For my Suburban that only sees highway. on Feb 18 2022. On April 2023 a very large bulge was noticed by a car that was behind me on the highway and let me know about the problem. That’s how big it was, a car behind me saw it. I took the car to the store where I bought the tires to see if they would warranty the tire. They had no idea how to even do a warranty. I was told to try another Cooper dealer, so I tried two. They wouldn’t even look at the tire, since they weren’t purchased there. I then paid 190.80 for a new tire. I had to send the bad tire into Cooper, and it was found to be a manufacturing defect. Cooper did end up giving me 120.00 back. The bad news is Dec. 30 2023 I noticed another bulge on a different tire. These tires still have 12/32” tread they look like new. I contacted Cooper again in regards to the new bulge. No response yet on that tire. I bought another and replaced it. Dealing with Cooper warranty is a joke. More bad news. March 13 2024 I had another bulge on another tire. These tires are just over a year old, I have never had issues like this before. At this point I bought 4 new tires not Cooper ever again. All 3 tires bulged the same way inside sidewall and not a small bulge.
