Tires DUNLOP or Cooper

Cooper makes some fantastic tires. I run the Zeon LTZ on my Ram, and the rain/snow performance is awesome.

He immediately switched to the cooper's st Maxx tires. He has had this truck a 1 year maybe a year and a half and has already destroyed the 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty. These tires went on when the truck was still pretty much new.

Compared to the Toyos, on the street, they are night and day difference! I can now accelerate and not have the rear end slipping or hopping around in the rain. Also, I find the tires to be a little bit quieter than the Toyo's.

I run Audi A3 17" wheels with Dunlop 3D sport winters. They're not the best snow tire, but they are significantly better than an all season and I have yet to have any issues getting around. Car feels stables, and brakes are actually effective unlike with all seaons.

With winter weather has been here for a week now, and they have been great, millions of times better than the junk X-Ice I had on the Passat, and comparable to any other good winter tire I've used in the past.

Cooper discoverer st max, I drive lots of gravel roads and get lots of mileage out of them, I like bfg at’s but the gravel chews them up

Depends on which brand you're interested in. In the past I've bought BFGs and Ingold's in Durham was my jam, but this time I'm going with Coopers and Discount Tire seems to have the best price.

Audis run on Continental Winter Contacts, have had Nokians, Hankooks and Coopers. All worked well but the Coopers were noisiest of the bunch.

Cooper has had a consistent track record of balance/wear/behavior issues for all of us over the last couple of years.

My experience with the Cooper AT3:

2011 Land Rover LR4. I Put about 50k miles on the set in 2 years. No punctures.

* Excellent on road manners

* Quiet, smooth.

* Even tread ware

* AWFUL (I.E. not safe) Snow and ice performance

* Poor mud traction, poor gravel traction, mehh wet traction.
