Firestone Wilderness AT?

Goodyear Wrangler AT?

Kumho Venture AT?

The Firestones would be cheapest for me, followed by the Kumhos, with the Goodyears being the most expensive.

Anybody have any experience with these brands? Would like to hear your honest opinion.

 

I have had Firestones and the goodyears on previous vehicles. During the run of the firestones i had 2 of them pop within the year and a half i had them.. they where also very easy to go into a slide with.

the goodyears where ok but i personally dont like goodyear. Currently i have a set of Copper Discoverer a/t waiting to be mounted. I have heard alot of good things about the coopers that lead me to the decision to try them.

 

of those 3 I'd go Firestone. Personally, I'd go MICHELIN
kuhmo NO WAY Goodyear NO WAY

 

I have a set of Kuhmo white walls on my 95 Towncar. At 40,000 City and highway miles they still look new. So new, I have yet to rotate them. Not sure how they perform on a truck?

 

Anyone have any reviews on the Cooper Discoverer AT? I will be dealing with either Kauffman Tire of Firestone because of the 6 month financing.... anyone know the AT options at Kauffman?

 

I just put a set of Discoverer AT3's on my '00 2wd Durango, maybe 1k miles ago.

They grip good in every condition I've put them through (wet/dry pavement, mud, loose dirt/gravel climbing hills, etc).

They're rated for 55k miles, but as I said, I've only put ~1k miles on them, so no idea how they'll hold up long term.

 

There is a whole thread on here about that very question.. i have a set in my garage that i have yet to put on.

 

my dad has the AT3s on his truck and has somewhere around 30k on them (maybe more at this point, im not sure) and eh loves them, good grip, good wear, little loud for him, but IMO they arent that bad

 

I just put the cooper discoverer's on my D and they are working great so far... Happy with them!

 

I got the Cooper Discover ATR tires for free, new. I have put about 10k miles on my Durango in the last two years... they have handled great. Mostly dry driving, 50%. 45% wet and 5% snow.

I'm very happy with them. I wouldn't have purchased them as I love the bridgestone duelers on my Bronco in Colorado and they performed better than I could have ever expected. Only had to put my Bronco in 4WD once in 5 years. I only drove it in the winter time when it snowed because my Titan had goodyears and they just didn't grip (light bed didn't help I'm sure).

If you live in an area with rain/snow that's around almost as much as sunshine - get siping done. Well worth the $10 per tire. That's what I had on my bridgestones.

But my advice to you - Don't focus on price. You literally have to drive your vehicle daily and the tires on it will affect your daily life. Go for the tire that fits your needs and has the best rating/style that fit what you're looking for. I have OEM michelin tires on my Fusion, the best tire you can get that they sell and I'm very happy with the performance both in dry and wet conditions. Never had Michelin tires before but I can honestly say I love em. Just not sure about the whole "energy" thing they permote on the tire if it really saves me fuel or not
