Personally, I like Uniroyals but Cooper is good too.
Coopers are WAY better tires than the Uniroyal or Westlake...
The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
I've put these on my work vans and personal trucks for years, I've used about 6 sets. They punch way above their weight. I'm not going to say they're the best, but they're better than they have any reason to be considering the price. They wear long, are reasonably quiet and work well plowing snow.
Copper rugged trek. Have them on my 2500 duramax. Definitely like better them better then ko2s and dura tracks.
Cooper Endeavor Plus are some pretty good tires, I put a set on our AWD Equinox back in June, I'm happier with these than the Michelin Latitudes they replaced, and they are pretty good on slippery roads. I tested them last night on an icy spot during a snow storm and the ABS didn't kick in until well past what I normally brake at on icy roads.
cooper tires are great, firestones will ride like shit (i have all season firestones ._.)
Laufenn tires are generally pretty lousy. They're cheap, but that's about the only good thing that can be said about them. They can suffer from poor quality control in manufacturing and wear out fast.
