Tires DUNLOP or Cooper

Monday night, I put Cooper CS3's on the front and balanced the garbage West Lakes that are on the rear. All 4 were surprisingly round and none of the rims bent. I can now get around corners faster dry and wet, and can oversteer the car pretty easily when near the limit.

Cooper Discoverer AT3. Good dry and wet grip. Low road noise. Wheels halfway decent.

I am so tempted to put some Cooper AT/3s on mine. The stock Continentals are not great and I have already picked up two screws in 3 months. I never got any holes in 50k miles on the AT/3s on my Pathfinder.

It finally came down to the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. The reviews I read and watched said it has good wet road traction and does decent off road. My experience for the last 50k miles on them supports that conclusion.

Nothing wrong with Cooper tires. I've the S/Ts on my 2000 4runner years ago. They were amazing.

Cooper 100%. The Coopers are light, have a great A/T tread, and will do well in snow.

EDIT: And they last forever. I had 55k on the A/T3s on my last truck when I sold it, and they still had plenty of life left.

I'm now on my third set of Cooper At3s and will continue to buy them. Good road manners, good in dry/wet, and predictably confident in snow. I'm in a New England and have plowed with all three trucks I put the Coopers on- I had them on an 01 Ram, 14 F150, and now on my 15 Sierra 1500. Very good tire for the money. Highly recommend.

My Dunlop wintersport 3ds have 4 seasons on them right now, this will be their last. they are not as good as they were new, but they are decent and predictable.

Starfire tires are a budget brand of tire made by Cooper. They're typically using Cooper's older, less advanced rubber compounds, some of which are absolutely terrifying in wet conditions and tend to be OK to good in the dry. They typically have a short tread life.

I got my WRX in March, near the end of the winter season. It snowed heavily one day, and I got stuck trying to go up my driveway because I only had the stock Dunlops. AWD was no replacement for winter tires.
