Tires Cooper or GENERAL TIRE
Great tire, have them on my Jeep Cherokee and my wife's Town and Country. Both cars came from the factory with Firestones, totally junk tires. I just replaced my wife's last week with the new Cooper Pro Control.
Ran 3 different sets of Cooper AT3s on my pickups and I like them. Good bang for your buck tire IMO
Love Coopers. I put the Discoverer HTPs on my first truck, lasted over 65k miles including lots of towing; put a second set on that truck years later that was going strong when I sold it recently. Just put a set of Discoverer HTP IIs on my current truck.
Mine are noticeably quieter than the Goodyear's I had. So far grip and longevity are better. I'm a new fan.
Altimax RT45/43 is the best budget tires around, however it's not a match against Bridgestone WeatherPeak.
I also used to have a 2008 Nissan Frontier. I had General Grabber AT-Xs on that truck. Decently comfortable, good load rating (I used that truck for towing), rated for snow, and the tread was good for the light offroading I did. Although being an offroad tire with a somewhat aggressive tread, it was noisy at highway speeds. I didn't really mind, but others might.
The Generals on my car are worlds better than the Pirellis on it before.
The Pirelli P1s were so loud you couldn't have a conversation on the highway, so lacking in grip that a 150hp car could spin the tires in dry conditions. After I went sideways on some wet concrete, I replaced them with General Exclaim tires - their 'sporty' all seasons, all of $50 each from Walmart. It grips like a race car, is quiet and smooth, and tire life is close.
General is good. I have Evertrek GTs on my car, they seem to be a pretty good tire.
I’m in eastern Canada, and I’ve had those Motomasters tires that are designed by Cooper. They are pretty good when new. Not as good as Nokians in deep snow, but pretty decent. They wear out quickly however, and the performance degrades significantly as they wear out. They lasted about 25,000km and I could not even get the car moving on a slightly inclined icy driveway.
These photos show what happened to two of my 265/75R16 E rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires after 4 years and 25k miles. One blew up and one developed a bulge.
