Tires Toyo or Cooper

These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.

Ohio here, get yourself a set of Toyo Celsius mileage phenomenal, traction phenomenal, ride is phenomenal

Toyo AT3 - 3 peak rated as well. Amazing in the snow

I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.

My stock tires are wearing the same. I looked at the Toyo tires a while back, and iirc they were pricey. Yours is the first pic of it that I’ve seen mounted and I agree they do look good.

I did buy those as replacements on my 2015.5 V60 and they were great A/S tires in Massachusetts.

I have them on my 4Runner replacing prior at3 4s tires. Took a chance on them. I find them even better the prior at3 4s - as quiet as the original stocks. smooth easy riding on highway, outstanding in snow and slush - had them in a mini blizzard the first week. slightly more “aggressive” aesthetic if that’s your thing. Very happy with them.

I have had my Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail A/T tires since Aug 2024. Tires are very noisy compared to the Falken tires that I replaced. I have also noticed a reduction in fuel economy. They work great in the snow but I can't deal with the noise.

These photos show what happened to two of my 265/75R16 E rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires after 4 years and 25k miles. One blew up and one developed a bulge.

It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.

I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.
