Tires Toyo or Cooper

The summer tire finally wore out and I’m running the Coopers till they are done. They’ve been a good tire for the price.

I personally went with C load with the Toyo AT’s. Came from BFG AT E load. No regrets. Not apples to apples, but between those two the Toyo in C was SIGNIFICANTLY softer in ride quality which was comfy both on and off road. Made daily commuting, long road trips, and off roading (especially on washboard) much more tolerable.

I just replaced the tires on my 21 Outback with Cooper ProControl. Same tire size as you. I have young kids as well and do family duty for vacations school etc.

So far so good. I previously had the stock Yokohamas and they weren’t very good. Barely got 50k out of them.

Late to the party, but I’m 50k into my 215/75r15s and either going with toyos again in 225/75 or falken wildpeaks. I’ve been very happy with the toyos in CO weather and dry backcountry. Not a ton of mud experience to help you with but the toyos have been GREAT on everything! Road noise it so be expected with AT tires but the toyos were/are not very noisy at all.

The 3s are a little louder but nothing too noticeable unless you commute in silence. They look great and perform just as great in any weather condition, asphalt or not.

Get Toyo Proxes Tr, street legal, cheap, and you wont notice the difference at all, unless you are a seasoned racer

Or, replace your OEM tires with TOYO  EXTENSA A/S II A in the stock size for $172 per tire.

Running Toyo Extensa HPII all seasons on my 450whp s4, no complaints

20k miles until they had to be replaced due to tread.

I'd steer clear of the Cooper Discoverer. I had a set that did not seem to last as long compared to the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs.
