Tires DUNLOP or Cooper
Pep Boys has a relatively cheap Cooper tire exclusive to them. They last forever. Definitely touring tires, they're made to last and to be ideal in all conditions. I'll go back to the Cooper Adventurers next round of tires and probably here on out, highly recommended.
For as much time as you spend on the freeway I would 100% go with the Discoverer AT3s! Such a dope tire! Superb road manners, ultra quiet, and awesome capabilities when you push them!
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S! Went from KO2’s to these and it’s a night and day difference in terms of handling, smoothness, MPG, and most important (for me)- cold/ wet weather performance!
I had dunlop sport Max with SV6 17 inch rims on my 2009 ve international and man they were excellent tyres heaps of grip in the wet and of course in the dry aswell!
I am a big fan of Cooper discoverer tires. Currently running the rugged trek in 275/65 R20 on my 1500 AT4. Quieter than the Goodyears that came with the truck.
They performed admirably, especially for the price. To my ears they were quieter than the factory Dunlops, and they definitely lasted longer. I replaced them after around 45,000 miles (~72,000 km since I see you are a northern neighbor) because of a sidewall bubble, but that was courtesy of a massive pothole rather than any sort of defect. There was still tread life remaining.
Studded Cooper discoverer snowclaws not much to look at but excellent traction on snow and ice
They're good on 40+ weather. And they're loud. Freaking louder than the Blizzaks and those are snow tires with huge knobs. They're stock tires so use em as much as you can then buy better tires.
Last Coopers I bought at Walmart. Rode so hard, no give to them.
404s are pretty shit, tbh. Even Shinkos are a significant improvement. The 777 and the 230 Tour Master walk the 404.
