Tires Firestone or Cooper
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.
A set of studded Firestone winterforce..
7 seasons and still great.
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.
Go with your Uncle Cooper. I’m on my second set on my Wrangler and have had great luck with them.
Running the cooper's in a 35x12.5 currently and they are LOUD as expected but they sure do look good lol ????
I ended up with the firestones. I know they are not the best winter tire but I'd take them over an A/T in the winter. I got my moneys worth the day I put them on because we got a decent "wet" snow storm and the main road out of our neighborhood was closed do to an accident as usual. I had to take a alternate rout which is a steep curvy 1 lane road and I was one of the few to make it all they way out without spending time in the ditch or guardrails.
I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
