Tires Cooper or WEST LAKE

Put them on my 22 TRD OR. Quiet, smooth ride, handle anything reasonable. As long as you’re not trying to do any massive off roading and worst terrain is going to deer camp on a rainy day they’re perfect.

Solid midrange choice.

Much better in all conditions than the Cooper AT3 S4s they replaced (though to be fair they were older and ready to be replaced). They ride quietly, comfortably aren’t killing my gas mileage and performed very very well in the recent snow.

Cooper winter evolution are pretty aggressive in snow and ice and studdable

I do like my AT3s but man do they ever hold onto rocks

I have Cooper Evolution Winters that are studdable. Huge fan of them and have never gotten stuck in the Wisconsin winters before.

When I had my Mk7 R, I put on Westlake winter tires and they were dirt cheap yet surprisingly very good.

I bought a similar cooper tire for its long life.  Harsh and noisy.

most of the tires coined as "China Bombs" are the Westlake tires...

These photos show what happened to two of my 265/75R16 E rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires after 4 years and 25k miles. One blew up and one developed a bulge.
