Absolute worst tire in snow ever.

If I had more cash, I'd get a new set of something... anything else.
I mean i have never been able to drive my truck in 2wd with any amount of snow. And I have a limited slip


Too much torque and not enough weight In the back.

Oh no, I'm not trying to compare the two. I know there's no comparison.

Two years ago I still had the bald tires the PO had on it. They were bald to the point of bands poking through. And they handled better in snow than the new Coopers I put on. Now it will spin out if I just look at the gas pedal, and it'll slide all over if I touch the brakes.

So I don't think I'm expecting 4wd performance or using too much skinny pedal. I just expected the Coopers to have more grip in mild winter driving.

(Unless the LSD has just completely gone out without any noise or grinding or bad behavior at all and I'm running around with basically an open diff... But that doesn't account for bad braking)

I see no pop ups or ads

quit using a junk web browser


I use firefox with both the "ad block plus", and "noscript" plugins.

havent seen pop ups or ads in a long time... haven't gotten a virus or spyware in a long time either!

I also run malwarebytes pro on my laptop to keep spyware and malicious items out. noscript blocks a majority of it though. noscript can be annoying at times though and I would only recommend it for advanced users.

but adblock plus is user friendly and anybody can use it without it being too strict
