Tires Kumho or Cooper
I just put a fresh set of Cooper AT3 XLT 31s on my truck. They're even more quiet than the last set of Coopers (ATP XL). The tread blocks are spaced wider, and are vastly more aggressive too.
I have the coopers, they work great in the snow. Likely a bit quieter than the toyos
I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer
I have NC Miata and run Kumho V730s as a track and autocross tire. Might be like 0.5 sec off the fastest tire over a 60 sec course and holds up well on track.
I bought Kumho a/s for the first time this summer and I am very happy with them so far.
I have a set of Kumho A/T tires on my beater 4runner and tbh they’re not snow tires and they’ve still been fantastic in the snow. Don’t have the best ride quality, but I’ve thoroughly liked them for the last 35k miles.
Cooper's are good tires. I'm sure it varies model to model, but I find the ST Maxx far better than the KO2s I had.
Cooper makes a good tire, I am running a set of them at the moment actually... I wouldn't hesitate on those and would take them new over a used Michelin or Goodyear with 50% tread any day
Cooper evolutions for me. Only issue I've had is getting high centered after driving by a snowbank
Falken RT660 suck when temps are below 60F as even in the dry the rears won't get enough heat in them to work properly until around runs 5-6. Kumho V730 do better in cool dry weather than the RT660, but they're not a rain tire (at least not here in the Pacific NW).
