Tires FEDERAL or Cooper

I've had great experience in the snow so far with the Road & Trail and wondering if the Stronghold does similarly for LT sizes

I got 4 cooper endeavor tires for my Subaru Crosstrek for $660 installed with alignment a couple weeks ago. They’re all seasons and my friends who know what they’re talking about all said they are excellent.

My '02 Outback also rarely put wear on its tires. I drove that one much more offroad too and it had Cooper Discoverers that held up extremely well in all weather - snow, rock roads, summer asphalt, muddy parking lots.

My wife’s L322 on the coopers is stone cold boring in snow here in Colorado. She’s from the south so she’s always a bit nervous in the snow but she just commented to me yesterday that she feels so confident in that thing with those tires (I had made a comment that I thought the Coopers had worn in to be quite loud an she rebutted saying she doesn’t notice nor care due to how they perform.

i recently switched from bfg ko2 to cooper discoverer at3 and love them. only issue is they pickup alot of rocks. and i live on a dirt road so constantly picking them out. but they ride great great traction in the wet. do ok in mud snow etc. ive had on 3 vehicles one was a honda element. rode like it was on rails. my excursion same and when does slide very predictable even with lsd locking poweslides.

I’m also really enjoying the Cooper AT3s I just put on and I’m getting slightly better mpgs

I had the smell of spanking new Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail in my garage all weekend. Decided to give these a try. Will say these are very quiet for AT tires

Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.

I've had nothing but problems with the road+trail AT tires. They have been rebalanced 6 times in the last 7 months. I've seen a lot of similar reviews saying the same thing. They replaced 2 under their warranty but the original 2 and new set are still coming out of balance.

Most go with Pirelli, Michelin , Falken where as Cooper is C grade tire.
