Tires BFGoodrich or Cooper
I have a Tucson AWD in North Dakota... I was down to two tires when choosing my last set, the Nokian WR G4 and Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Either would have been fine but I went with the Coopers because I drive some gravel and rough roads and the Coopers are a little "tougher" tire
I just has a set of Copper Endeavor Plus put on my '22 about 2 months ago. Just a standard all-season tire, nothing really special. Pretty happy with them. They're quiet, and good in the rain.
I was pretty impressed all around with how they held the speed and handling.
I've gotta say. Bf Goodrich k 0 2 is my go to tires. I get almost 100 km out of them , on road off , off road towing, in construction sites , scrap yards and in snow. I swear by them
I run 4 chinese tires on my frontier, the 4 are the price of 1 bfgoodrich km3, i have 6000 miles on them, and heavy offroad (airing down to 5 psi, sand dunes, mud, rocks) and they blew my mind, how cheap and good they are.
I cannot recommend the Cooper Discoverer AT3s enough.
I have a set that has just over 70k on them (will be replacing within a month or so), and I have put them through everything.
I have driven back and forth across the country multiple times and gone rock crawling in Moab and Death Valley (among several other places).
They have always performed well in all weather conditions and have negligible road noise.
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
Built like a MT, rated like an AT. Good in all conditions.
When we bought our Limited, the dealer put the AT3 sports on it. They did just fine in rain and snow, a few trips from NM to CA and forest service roads in CO. We got about 60k out of them. I have the defenders on the vehicle now and am happy with them as well.
Ko2 = great on rocks and most trails. Pretty bad if the trail will get muddy and clog up the tread blocks. <10k miles relatively quiet. 10k-40k loud Nearly indestructible though even with lots of sharp rocks. Neve punctured one. Lots of balancing problems. Thank 4wheelparts for free rotate and balance. AT3W= Similar experience in most terrain. Maybe mildly better on packed snow but id say it's a wash. Quieter over all for highway driving mine have about 30k on them now.
I worked in tire shops for many years and installed many sets of BFG all terrain K02. I used to cringe when I saw these tires on the work order. They are very heavy tires to handle and that weight doesn't help with mounting and balancing. Every time I installed a set of these, there would always be 1 or 2 tires that would ask for an obscene amount of weight when trying to balance. Sometimes as much as 10 ounces on a perfect rim. We would try to promatch them but sometimes they would still want 5-6 ounces. Sometimes we would peel the tire off and try another one from stock if we had more. If we had no other stock, we would slap the weight to it and hope the customer didn't come back with a vibration. Also, everyone I've ever talked to who had these said they turn hard as a rock when they are cold and are terrible on ice.
