Tires Toyo or Cooper
I went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my’n as stock replacement and very happy with my choice so far.
My primary concern was handling of snow and wet slush on the highway and so far this winter they’ve done excellent. The tread design does have a lot small sipes/cuts that work great for just that. Did not notice any increase in noise from them either.
Put them on a 2018 4Runner and they ride way better and quieter than the Toyo Open Country they replaced. They look great and they handle well in dry and wet but haven’t had the chance to test snow and ice yet myself.
UK and lots of those are available, I run Toyo R888s on my Elsie and they Road Legal (I sprint/hillclimb in a road legal class)
Cooper's aren't THAT much more and they're great tires. I got 67,000 out of the ones on my 2003 Subaru Forester XS (RIP) they were at the end of their life though.
Went from stock Bridgestones to Cooper ATT. Seems to be quieter and defintely a better ride. Not sure why a lot of people prefer Bridgestones pero I find them stiffer even if inflated to just below recommended.
Stock tires lasted about 50-60k miles on all three of my lightnings. I went with the toyos for replacements. My lightning has 10-15k on the toyos now, they're great. Smooth, wearing nicely, quiet, good efficiency, good in snow and rain, etc.
I just bought the Toyo AT3 EVs earlier this week and I love them. Look great, haven’t noticed road noise and can’t wait for winter snow in these tires.
My 2018 got about 55k miles on the OEM Toyos
I have the Toyo A36 tires on my 2025 Mazda CX5. I dont think I've had a
worst set of tires on a car. You hear and feel every tar strip or road
imperfection. Noisy and hard riding. It feels like the tires are inflate
to 50 psi. Only 1,500 miles but will be replacing them soon.
I bought coopers about 3 years ago for my Silverado 1500. I will be honest this isn't an apples to apples comparison, I bought 4 ply (first mistake) AT3 4s's. They are cracking between the tread blocks on all 4 tires. Cooper won't warranty them saying it's just cosmetic, but they are deep cracks that go all the way around the tires between tread blocks on the inside and outside. I don't use chemicals or tire shine, and they are always kept at the appropriate pressures. They also lose chunks of tread every time i take them on the gravel roads in the mountains. I'm not happy with them at all, so my recommendation is to go with the K03's.
