Tires NITTO or Cooper
Yeah I got some all season coopers for my Highlander and they have been great.
Cooper is a WAY better tire than most. I've run 70k miles on two separate sets of Discoverer tires. I put Cooper on ALL my vehicles, on purpose. Having experience with Goodyear (mostly crap), Michelin (quality, but expensive), BFG (overrated and expensive), Kelly (utter trash) and others, Cooper has always been more reliably good, at a superior price point. Their value is stellar.
I used cooper weathermaster st on my wife’s dodge grand caravan. The lasted for 6 seasons. I put some winter evolution on my son’s Honda element this year. No issues with them.
I autocrossed for a season on Cooper RS3's and they were great. Not the best performance tire but I got a good deal on them and had no issues.
I used Cooper tires on a 2006 GMC Envoy once. They served me well. I wouldn't call them a "premium" tire, but I _would_ call them a _good_ tire.
After getting them on, I was pleasantly surprised. They weren't that cheap, but a lot less than Michelines. They are quiet and have a very good ride at highway speeds.
I've been running Coopers for almost 30 years, currently have them on my Silverado and getting ready to put another set on my Tahoe.
I can usually get 50k out of a set.
The ride is nice.
The price is right.
Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.
I had a pair of coopers with early signs of dry rot on my car when I got into my first accident, 15 minutes after it rained the roads were still a little wet and they totally lost traction when I tried to brake/steer away frm the dude turning across my lane.
I have Cooper tires on my F-150, tires around 4 years old now and they are cracking pretty bad too
