Tires FEDERAL or Cooper

I run Federal RSRR on the front of my drift car and Id say its TOO much grip in comparison to the rear 'whatever-I-Can-get" used tires.

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.

The Federals have been good for me the last couple of years for a budget tire, but they're really only a budget friendly tire for larger sizes.

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

Easily, Coopers. Ran the AT3 on my last truck (Silverado). Had right at 58,000 miles on them when I sold the truck with plenty of life left on the tires.

I’ve ran BFG KO2, Cooper AT3, Cooper STT Pro, and Cooper ST Maxx. All of them have been good tires but my favorite by far were the ST Maxx.

Replaced with Cooper AT3 XLT, which also have the RWL sidewall like the STT, and am over 50% tread at 38k miles. They are quieter, too.

Note to self, don’t cheap out on tires. (Federal SS 595). These aren’t bad bad but for autocross they need to be better.

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