Tires DUNLOP or Cooper

I just put COOPER DISCOVERER ROAD+TRAIL AT SL on my 22 Lariat PB. I like them. They are quiet and same good in dirt/mud. I’m 90% pavement but then some dirt/mud on my property. I have about 11,000 miles on them so far.

I went a bit cheaper and bought Cooper endeavor plus tires for my 19” wheels. I’m pleasantly surprised with how good they’ve been. They are very quiet, I haven’t noticed any change in range, and they performed well in the snow this past week in upstate NY while on a trip.

Everyone I know that has used these tires has absolutely loved them, and I see tons of positive reviews for them online, but despite all that I just can't get over how they look.

Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.

But I remember back in the day (PS4s are ancient now) when I swapped from Dunlop SportMaxx RT2s to PS4s and two things stood out - how much mechanical grip they have, and how long they take to warm up.

On cold mornings, they genuinely felt like track slicks. The Dunlops would be "warmed up" and gripping fine by the time I reached the main road - maybe half a mile.

The PS4s, on the other hand, would still feel twitchy and unpredictable halfway to work (~18 miles). It took a good 8-9 miles before they came in. And before they warm up, they are very on/off - loads of mechanical grip, but almost no compound grip, so they can suddenly let go.

They're wearing quickly like an AT does, but great in the snow.

Uzeo sad Dunlop Winter. Ne winter sport 5 nego samo Winter. Zasad ok na ovom mokrom.

To add to other comments, I had a Dunlop catastrophically fail going 90 mph, it was my rear wheel and it was a wild ride for 10 secs, I came out fine but my bike took quite a beating

After 2 sets of Falken Wildpeaks I went with these Coopers for my wife\u2019s 4Runner to save a few bucks. Instant regret. Louder and not nearly as good traction in the wet/snow.

it’s impeded by the OEM Cooper tires
