Tires Firestone or Cooper

I got Coopers on both our pickup and VW Jetta in the past year. They were on sale. Seem good...

I’ve been pleased with Cooper tires over the years. Both vehicles I have right now have Coopers on them.

I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.

I use good all season Cooper Tires on my Fusion and get around pretty good in the snow. Ice is always the wildcard.

I am running Cooper's from tire rack.

20k on them, look great, wear hardly noticable.

Yes. Good road, snow and decent wet tire. Wear well and they are decently priced in todays mad expensive world.

Should be able to find michelin X-ice non studded and studded, then a 3/4-1 ton truck I can recommend the cooper snow claws are great, add studs if you want for extra ice bite.

We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.

Do not purchase the Walmart coopers…. I have a set of 285 70 17 and one wheel took 16oz to balance on stock wheels. The other three required 5-7 oz each.
