Tires OEM BMW or Cooper

We have a set of Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT on my wife's OB and they've been excellent. We don't do anything crazier than fire roads and trailheads but they perform admirably and are fairly quiet on road.

Coopers are great tires, I had some on my old WRX and they lasted forever. I live in oregon and ran these tires through quite a few seasons no problem

I have these, got em on sale for cheap so I figured I'd give them a shot. Drove them in like 6" inches of snow with no issues, been through some mean rainstorms with no issues, and over the summer. Been on them for almost a year so far and no complaints for how I am driving on them (Mostly just daily duty, occasional twisties).

i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.

i ran those coopers for like 5 years they’re great, very little to no noise, doesn’t hold onto rocks and good wet traction. i started using them when it was a 3s and when they switched to the next gen 4s wet traction significantly improved. i did some dirt driving and a lot of snow driving in deep snow for hours on highways. great traction on dirt and snow, especially for the money.

Regarding the X3M - I have about 9 months and 6k miles or so dailying mine. It is firm but I don't believe it's as punishing as most reviews mention. The thing is a monster man. I don't know why anyone would need anything more in a daily. It handles easily as good as my RS3 did and maybe even less body roll despite being much higher CoG and the RS3 didn't roll much either. It feels direct and definitely feels rear driven.

CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far

As someone who was a parts manager at a dealership and worked with these tires. The Pro control would be your best option. Second would be the Endevors. These two are good for warm weather and wet driving, If you live where it snows they would be ok for Light snow ( packed snow and ice they wont work).

I got 50,000 on a set of these and never rotated them. They were howling pretty bad because of it, and totally my fault. I went in to replace them and the tire shop said I had plenty of tread to go farther, I just couldn't stand the howl anymore.

Had a much better looking set of old coopers ruin a very clean square body s10 bed. The entire tread patch separated and beat the bottom corners round before it came off.
