Tires Firestone or Cooper

i run firestone transforce a/t's on my cummins and theyre great tires IMO. no compaints about them from me and they do great in the snow. a few guys over at plowsite run them too and no major complaints. grandpa runs mastercraft on his plow truck and they hold up very well too he had them on his 08 passat too and they were good tires.

Just replaced the crappy Bridgestones at 37k miles with Cooper CS4 touring, very nice and stable ride, excellent in wet and a good looking tire to boot.

Firestone Firehawk Indy Wide Oval 500. Dirt cheap 95$ (225/40/18XL). Great performance for the money. And you can afford to destroy them.

I am a fan of cooper tires in general. Typically, they wear well, they are quiet and hold the weather well too!

Cooper RS3-S I picked them up last spring; great grip in dry and wet, low noise, 300 wear rating (decent for a summer only tire) and great price point.

Check out Firestone Winterforce tires. Don't know where you're from but Tirerack lists them for $69 in 185/65/R15.

While not top of the line, these will get you through a lot of bad snow. The tread is deep enough and has a ton of small blocks to chew through snow and enough siping to get over ice.

They are worn evenly and look & ride great. I think the Cooper Touring tires are a nice compliment and the ride is far nicer than the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s that were on the \"borrowed\" wheels.

They do work excellent. I've had them for a couple seasons now and they look good!

I've had it for 1 week now, the lackluster looks of the stock 16's and the squishy, uncertain ride of the Goodyear's was killing me. Discount Tire was quick to the rescue with a set of Faulken LX-10 wheels and they were nice enough to let me get the tires I wanted through Tire Rack. They advised me to avoid the tire size I selected, but I was certain that it would work. The wheels are 20x8.55\" with a 35 mm offset, gloss black backround, machined face with chrome lip. I wanted to fill in the expected wheel gap, so rather than lowering it, I stuffed more rubber into the wheel well 'cause I bought this car to avoid the tailpipe sniffing experience of my previous GTI. The car sits 1\" higher than before, no rubbing, nothing touching in full lock either direction. The tires are Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval Indy 500, staggered to 245/45-20 front and 255/45-20 rear. My biggest concern was the front lower shock saddle, I clear it by the width of a credit card, an offset of 30-32 would have been perfect, these tires do not stick out at all. The ride and handling are huge improvements, the extra sidewall actually gives a more more comfortable ride than stock with none of the wandering from before. Handling is now crisp and defined, but I wish for a better feel from the steering wheel as it is so overboosted, the setup feels light, until braking, it seems I have to push the pedal harder than before, I'd like to hear your opinions as to why this is. Other than that, I'm quite pleased, $2100 later.

I had bad luck with mine on my Silverado.... the sidewalls seemed weak to me. I had much better luck with Nitto Terra Grapplers.
