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 got 77500 miles on my Dunlops before changing to Defenders 2. Defenders 2 feel much better.
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.
Der Satz Reifen Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (nicht der 2er) hat mich das letzte Mal in den Dimensionen 225/40 R18 91Y knapp unter 300 Euro gekostet.
Sada imam Dunlop (doduše odvozio tek jednu sezonu, napravio između 15 i 20 tisuća kilometara, prednje se potrošile 1mm, stražnje nisu niti 0.5mm, napominjem da volim stiskat auto i nije rijetko da startam, tako da ako se normalno vozi prednje bi se istoršile i manje, za sada sam zadovoljan)
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.
The 999 rear does skid out much easier then the Dunlop American elite, however I like to skid so that is a pro for me. I ran thru 2 Dunlop elites quite quickly. For the record I did like the Dunlop AE, just didn’t like replacing it every season
My dunlops had about 8-9k miles on them and were down to 3/32" front, and 4/32" rear.
They are super grippy so they wear faster.
I never had any slipping in the rain.
I have a pair of Dunlop Wintermaxx’s and they seemed like great tires, very gripping with dry roads. However, when it rains or is wet, they seem to absolutely suck. I start skidding/sliding even on simple turns at low speeds, even in a round a bout.
I bought coopers about 3 years ago for my Silverado 1500. I will be honest this isn't an apples to apples comparison, I bought 4 ply (first mistake) AT3 4s's. They are cracking between the tread blocks on all 4 tires. Cooper won't warranty them saying it's just cosmetic, but they are deep cracks that go all the way around the tires between tread blocks on the inside and outside. I don't use chemicals or tire shine, and they are always kept at the appropriate pressures. They also lose chunks of tread every time i take them on the gravel roads in the mountains. I'm not happy with them at all, so my recommendation is to go with the K03's.
