Tires Nexen or Cooper

Got an installed deal on Nexen Roadian ATX. I wanted an aggressive looking but functional tire, and these are three peak rated. Very happy a year or so in. $860 installed (BJ's).

I am running Cooper's from tire rack.

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

I run these. They’ve been great the last two winters. Definitely feel planted and secure. Mind you, I don’t deal with a ton of snow, but overall it’s been positive in wet and semi icy/snowy conditions.

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.

Can't speak on Seattle, but I had a set of Discoverer AT3 XLTs on my Dakota and my Sierra and loved em. Never had an issue. Plus they were made in thevUSA which was a plus in my mind.

Fantastic tires in my opinion. I haven't ran them on my trail rigs but used them on my plow truck and would happily buy again if I need an all terrain.

I sized up and really liked that decision. I’m mid though on my cooper discoverer rugged trek. Good wear, lowish noise for a “m/t” (basically at), good not great on dirt, rain performance has been decent, breaking is good, but the snow performance has been just ok.

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.
