Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

i got the defenders about 500 miles ago and like them.

the ride is more comfortable and i like the look. i do hear a little bit of road noise, but assuming i get close to the life i’m supposed to from them, it’ll be worth it.

I like my cooper discoverer at3 4s a lot.

I have those coopers on the front of my jeep xj for a few years now. They are great.

Damn good tires on Ranger 4 wheel drive.

Between the two, Cooper is a well known brand that I've seen on every tire website and in every tire shop I've visited. Go with the Coopers, they're tried and tested and you can at least know they won't randomly blow out or have dangerously low grip.

I was actively avoiding driving with the Kinergys if rain was predicted. Hated to dump almost new tires but first rain test the other night with the Michelins and they were amazing.

I used to have that on my F150 and I fell in love with them. I didn't feel water on the road and they were good in mud and gravel. They were also fairly quiet. I love the fact that they're rated for winter use, so in Quebec where I'm from, I don't have to worry about a late tire change, but I would still not use them as a regular winter tire because they absolutely suck on ice. They're okay in snow.

Look into the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tire and better tread wear.

Started out quiet on my wife’s CRV, after about 30k it sounds like failed wheel bearings on certain road surfaces. I love the handling performance but won’t be getting the same tires next time.

I bought coopers about 3 years ago for my Silverado 1500. I will be honest this isn't an apples to apples comparison, I bought 4 ply (first mistake) AT3 4s's. They are cracking between the tread blocks on all 4 tires. Cooper won't warranty them saying it's just cosmetic, but they are deep cracks that go all the way around the tires between tread blocks on the inside and outside. I don't use chemicals or tire shine, and they are always kept at the appropriate pressures. They also lose chunks of tread every time i take them on the gravel roads in the mountains. I'm not happy with them at all, so my recommendation is to go with the K03's.
