I'm hoping to get some reviews or opinions for a new tire. I have a 1999 Ram short bed 4x4. Currently it has Maxxis Bravo A/t 751's on it in size 285/75/16. The tires were new when i got the truck, approximately 5k miles ago.

They suck big time in the snow. I can go nowhere without spinning or using 4x4 no matter how much i baby the gas. I would like to stick with the same size.

The current tires seem to just float or ride on top of the snow (and mud). I dont want to go to a mud tire and price is something i have to consider.

I would like opinions on the Cooper ATR. I can get a set for under $600 from treadepot.com Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help

Also, I mainly drive in town, but also fish, hunt, boat, etc which does cause for sand, mud, snow, etc

 

ATRs are good tires in the snow, but i'd look into a set of STs, my dad has them and they are awesome in everything, but just a little noisy on the pavement

im getting a set before i go back to school

 

I had STT's on my Wrangler. They had roughly 7-10k miles on them and they still had the nubbies. I used them offroad in mud/snow/sand and they worked great! Never had a flat either, and my Jeep was mostly offroad. I live in AK where we have 8 mo winters, and they held up great and cut through the snow good with good grip. I dont believe they are a expensive tire either, as compared to a BFG AT KO or something...

 

I currently have the Cooper ATRs on my ram in that size. I love them. They seem to do really well in just about anything I put them in. Had Kumhos before and didn't really like them.

 

It's probably obvious.......... but what are ST's

 

Coopers to me are middle of the road tires,I mean good for the price.I have Maxxis on now and they are the worst tire I have ever had.

 

thanks for all the replies. I appreciate it.

 

i would go with the ATRs i have them on my jeep and there amazing! i have no problem in the snow at all even on ice they perform very good i am impressed with them i would reccommend them great tires!

 

Cooper, check out their website

 

I've never had Cooper tires....... but I will google them to find out what ST means........
