Skwurlz, can you back your comments up with some experiences? I find it hard to believe that our experiences are that different. Where do you live?
We frequently drive a stretch of highway (Highway 63) in Northern Alberta, which is known as a very dangerous road in the winter due to the excessive speed drivers attempt to negotiate the road, and the lack of maintenance. All winter, I did not feel the truck slide out on my a single time, and we do not have studs installed.

I've owned a few cars in my day, and run just about every performance brand tire, as well as AT's
I live in SoCal, and the coopers suck in the rain, horrible in gravel, and just an all around lousy tire.
I've run BFG's on my F350, Yokohama's, Federals, Dunlops, Nexxen, Falkens and more on other cars throughout the years.
My favorite is Falken by far, good dry traction, wet weather traction and fair life expectancy.
The coopers, just suck, no grip in the dry, wet or gravel, what's the point then?
For snow, use Vredstien

Thank you for qualifying your experience.
I find it humorous that you are unhappy with it's winter performance in California. Considering the Cooper tires you've reported on are identified as a very soft, winter tire. They may not perform well if offroading, as they are obviously not designed for such purpose.
Wet/dry performance is acceptable in my experience. I do not over-drive my tires/traction nor am I any more cautious than the average driver.
You may want to consider a more appropriate tire for your vehicle given your territory. Your tire shop should have been able to convince you of that when buying them.

Had I bought them, I would have returned them to the Tire dealer a LONG time ago. My experience wth them, will keep me from ever buying a Cooper product in the future. Also, if someone offered me a free set, I would pass, and save myself a headache.
