Tires SUMITOMO or Cooper
I like my set of Cooper S/T Maxx
Cooper Discoverer All Terrain is what I run on my Ram 2500. Great looking tire and a set of 4 was 660 plus like $18 per tire install at Walmart.
New tires are Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT 285/75R17, which have a 129 load rating (4,080lbs) and only weigh 56lbs. They are 11.2” wide so hopefully don’t rub like the BFG’s (will be installed next week), and weighing 10lbs less per tire is a big difference which will help the MPG. And a 60k mile warranty is nice.
Always go AT tires, they provide the best of all worlds, especially when you don't take the vehicle off road. I swear by Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT's and BFG T/A KO3's
Falken also makes several tires in that size. Falken are made by Sumitomo and excellent. My Sumitomos last at least 60k and are about $95-120.
I just got my second set of Cooper Discoverers (225/70/R15).
The updated version are more aggressive looking and there’s a little more road noise now, but not bad.
My old set performed extremely well in rain, mud, snow, ice, and regular daily driving. They also outlasted their high mileage rating, and I’m averaging 27mpg on my 2016. Zero complaints.
I have had them since the end of February this year. Drives pretty quiet and has excellent road handling and performance, especially when raining. I am pretty happy with them.
This is the 1st gen MotoMaster Winter Edge tires made by Cooper, bought in 2017. Noticed this damage, when I took them off for Summer Tire swap earlier this year, some are on the outer edge, others on the inner edge.
Cooper weathermaster st2 was by far the worst winter tires I've ever ran. Cooper zeon rs3 was the worst summer/all season.
Sumitomo HTR A/S P01. I tried them on two different vehicles and they were downright dangerous in the wet and snow, even when brand new.
