Tires Toyo or Cooper
Actual performance? Cooper AT3s (no joke, those tires are freaking amazing)
If you’re looking for a great off-road, snow tire that’s also good on pavement and doesn’t hum like crazy might I recommend the Toyo open country AT 3.
I’m running Cooper ST/Maxx and they’re fucking incredible and look aggressive as fuck. Vancouver got shit on with a ton of snow and ice and I felt like the most stable vehicle on the road during the initial snowmageddon. I haven’t lost traction once all week. Strongly recommend.
By contrast, the Toyo Celsius has not only been tested in the winter, but it even performed well on ice. (Well, at least as well on ice as a non-winter tire can possibly do.)
Dropped less than 10% when we got rid of the Nexens and put on Coopers All Terrain tyres. We did this mostly because we live on dirt roads and had four punctures in four months with the Nexus. The range drop is negligible and the car handles so much better on dirt and sealed roads.
Cooper AT3 4S on my 4runner, best tires I have had for daily driver and crosscountry trips for desert off-roading and snow off-roading. Great price, last long, low highway noise, Made in USA.
My coopers are great. Handle great in the rain and snow, not a lot of road noise and look great on my suburban.
Cooper Discoverer AT3. The XLT model adds more sidewall beef.
AT3. Much better on-road, better mpg, not as good off-road, but still very good.
Tire is rubbing! (only when I turn) My attempt at rectifying the problem. Installed BFT fit blocks and it still rubs. Cut the fender liner and it still rubs. I returned the wheels and tires.
