Tires Falken or Cooper

I own a couple auto/tire shops and we put the Falken Aklimate on my wife's SUV last fall. They have been fantastic so far.

Might I suggest the Falken Aklimates, they are a great all weather tire at an amazing price point. I work at a tire warehouse and I got a tester set and don’t have any issues with the tires themselves.

I've never ran a car tire but I have had several sets of cooper cobras on a squarebody I rebuilt and my favorite I've ever ran was there STT mud tire. I could get around 55-60k miles out of those and they were aggressive with very little road noise for a mud tread. Unfortunately they quit making that style.

I’ve been using RT660’s for the past 3 years and they’re fantastic. Though they’re the only summer tires I’ve bought so I don’t have much reference. But they handle great, especially after getting heat into it, and of course it depends on the car but it made a night and day difference in terms of confidence with my car.

I use the Coopers on my suburban with a rear suspension kit and that’s Suburban handled like a dream. I was running 20 inch wheels on a 2003 suburban. I do it again any day no doubt no questions asked.

I use exclusively Cooper tires and have for over a decade, they're great tires

Never had any issues with their Discoverer AT3s or their evolution touring.

Yeah I got some all season coopers for my Highlander and they have been great.

Falken Wildpeak AT3s aren't bad either but still not as good as Duras.

2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.
