Tires NITTO or Cooper
The Cooper road and trail plus are fantastic, I have them on mine.
I had the Cooper at3 4s, they were discontinued when it was time for new tires and allegedly replaced with the road and trail Plus so that's why I got them. At3 4s got me 65,000 miles, mostly highway, some trails, some snow. Wonderful in rain.
I’m pretty happy with my new Coopers so far.
On my 4wd stuff, I’ve always used E-rated Cooper A/T’s (currently two trucks wearing Strongholds) with the same story. Never had to cash in on that warranty. Just drive em, check the pressure every couple days, and get after it.
My cheap car with small wheels got $400 cooper tires Made in USA at Sam's Club all in . Highly rated by Tire Rack as well
I have the nitto terra grappler g3. Was significantly lighter than the ko3s I usually run.
I am running the cooper road+trail and I love them because they are totally silent on the highway, light, and still pretty decent offroad
I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.
Most of my traction issues are probably down to my snow tires( cooper evolution winter) I’ll be switching brands for 2026 winter season. But overall tbh they handle really well.
I'm a mechanic, but still personally only stick to Michelin/Continental/Nokian religiously on my cars. Our parts dept fleet at my shop are all fitted with Coopers in the summer and Nexens in the winter. I hate them. Noisy, garbage in the weather, garbage in the dry.
Had Faulken tires and the traction was amazing, wore them down to 2/32 and still felt good but mechanic said I need new tires. I bought the Cooper Adventurer All Season Tires...Since getting this done, I consistently lose traction and feel like I’m sliding.
