Monday night, I put Cooper CS3's on the front and balanced the garbage West Lakes that are on the rear. All 4 were surprisingly round and none of the rims bent. I can now get around corners faster dry and wet, and can oversteer the car pretty easily when near the limit.
Cooper Discoverer AT3. Good dry and wet grip. Low road noise. Wheels halfway decent.
I am so tempted to put some Cooper AT/3s on mine. The stock Continentals are not great and I have already picked up two screws in 3 months. I never got any holes in 50k miles on the AT/3s on my Pathfinder.
It finally came down to the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. The reviews I read and watched said it has good wet road traction and does decent off road. My experience for the last 50k miles on them supports that conclusion.
Nothing wrong with Cooper tires. I've the S/Ts on my 2000 4runner years ago. They were amazing.
Cooper 100%. The Coopers are light, have a great A/T tread, and will do well in snow.
EDIT: And they last forever. I had 55k on the A/T3s on my last truck when I sold it, and they still had plenty of life left.
I'm now on my third set of Cooper At3s and will continue to buy them. Good road manners, good in dry/wet, and predictably confident in snow. I'm in a New England and have plowed with all three trucks I put the Coopers on- I had them on an 01 Ram, 14 F150, and now on my 15 Sierra 1500. Very good tire for the money. Highly recommend.
Cooper makes some fantastic tires. I run the Zeon LTZ on my Ram, and the rain/snow performance is awesome.
Ardent rolls well but is lacking in traction. If you want to take corners fast, I would stay away from Ardent in the front - there is a dead zone between the middle and side knobs that will feel vague especially when cornering.
If the DHFs are hard to mount on a given rim, particularly Stans, wait till you try a Maxxis Ikon. One of the hardest tyres I've ever installed.
