Tires SUMITOMO or Cooper
Just put cooper discoverer road and trail’s on mine and they have been great in the rain. Better in the rain than most A/Ts
I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.
We have been running some amazing Cooper tires on our Acura. I think they have more than 75k on them and we are not changing them yet. They are top notch tires.
For an SUV/CUV I generally recommend Cooper Discoverer Enduramax which maybe a good choice here as it has an extra belt layer and is a bit tougher than many regular all-weather tires
I got Coopers on both our pickup and VW Jetta in the past year. They were on sale. Seem good...
I’ve been pleased with Cooper tires over the years. Both vehicles I have right now have Coopers on them.
I use good all season Cooper Tires on my Fusion and get around pretty good in the snow. Ice is always the wildcard.
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.
She now shakes down the autobahn with coopers on at 100k.
Not cooper tires. I have them and my truck has a hard pull due to the design.
