Default cooper tires

Just got rid of the factory tires, and put on cooper discovery at3. 860.00 installed, very impressed so far. We have had rain so I was playing around, got 265/70/16. Love the look and performance. Not to loud in the highway either, highly recommend them to anyone. Will try to get a picture up soon. Started working at a tire shop, and get a deal on Rims. Guess that will be next.

I wanted those sooo bad but the tire shop said it would take them a week to get them in the size I needed. Got hankook dynapro atm instead.

The Cooper's were a solid choice for me, but in the end i went with Hankooks.

I've got the Cooper Discovery STs on my Dually. Been a great tire for that application. Quiet, wears well(truck hauls heavy on gravel roads which can kill a tire really fast), and works well in the snow/ice.

Not the greatest in mud but just fine for the little bit that the dually sees. For some reason Cooper tires are hard to get. Had to really search for them and they weren't cheap, especially when you have to buy 6.

Hankook is anawsome tire to, we sell lots at work. I like the look of coolers better, and I will get a picture up soon I work like 14 hours a day.

i burned through a set of hankook in half a season, but then again i got stuck on a hill and my 4x4 wasnt really working, it turned me off from that brand....but i guess it was sorta my fault but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth

I saw the Cooper Discovery AT3 in the store and they looked pretty good. I am extremely happy with my Cooper Zeon LTZ's, which were born in Texarcaca, Arkansas. usa.gif
