Tires what do you like
What do you like for tires. I do not live In the snow line but just under so I need decent winter tires. And good rest of the year tires.
I am looking at Cooper ATR Discoverer

Tires for Durango
I had the first generation Durango (5.2 V8 4WD) with Michelin LTX's. They seemed to never wear out and great on the paved road. However, I was parking my camper once in wet grass and had to use 4WD to back it into a space because the tires spun in 2WD on the wet grass.
Now I have the 2nd generation Durango (5.7 Hemi V8 4WD). When it came time to replace my OEM Goodyears I did a lot of research and I based my criteria on a tire that would take anything I or mother nature could throw at it. I went with the Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo. It helped me survive "Snowmagedon". I live in SC but work in VA so I travel the route between the two states frequently. With the OEM Goodyears, I spent a lot of time in 4WD to keep the D on the road, however through rain, slush and snow the Revo's have kept me out of 4WD and safely on the road. They are like riding on tracks. Originally, the D had the 245's on it but I went with the alternate 265's which are better for mud and snow, it gives you an extra inch of rubber on the road for the same diameter of tire. I tow with the D also, hence the reason I went with the Hemi.
The Revo's may be a bit more expensive, but I am a firm believer, you get what you pay for. Not saying Cooper is not a good tire, I know guys who swear by them but do the proper research and find the right tire for what you want it to do for you. I didn't use "tirerack" to purchase my tires from but they do have a good selection guide to help one figure out tires that best suits their driving conditions and expectations. Good luck on your search.

I swapped out the originals for BF Goodrich Longtrails. 10K later, still happy. No trouble on ice, snow, or wet, and no signs of wear. I did upgrade to the 265's, they fill the wheelwell a little better.
