Tires DUNLOP or Cooper
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.
I’m pretty happy with my new Coopers so far.
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.
My cheap car with small wheels got $400 cooper tires Made in USA at Sam's Club all in . Highly rated by Tire Rack as well
I am running the cooper road+trail and I love them because they are totally silent on the highway, light, and still pretty decent offroad
You'll be fine. They're just not good over thick snow or obviously ice. Just stay in the lane that you see is completely dry. I'm still running mine now, its below 10 here in NY and feels in the negatives. Fine in the snowy roads with just traction semi off. No issues. Only sharp turns the tires give out so go slow with moderate throttle.
Most of my traction issues are probably down to my snow tires( cooper evolution winter) I’ll be switching brands for 2026 winter season. But overall tbh they handle really well.
No, I made the mistake of driving my car around 40 degrees when it was raining, it was scary. Those tires are trash except when it’s dry and higher than 50 degrees
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
