Tires Cooper or NANKANG
I put Cooper Discoverer Enduramax on it after purchasing last August. I love them. Quiet, smooth, have been great all around in rain, snow, ice, etc.
I like my cooper discoverer at3 4s a lot.
I have those coopers on the front of my jeep xj for a few years now. They are great.
Damn good tires on Ranger 4 wheel drive.
Between the two, Cooper is a well known brand that I've seen on every tire website and in every tire shop I've visited. Go with the Coopers, they're tried and tested and you can at least know they won't randomly blow out or have dangerously low grip.
I used to have that on my F150 and I fell in love with them. I didn't feel water on the road and they were good in mud and gravel. They were also fairly quiet. I love the fact that they're rated for winter use, so in Quebec where I'm from, I don't have to worry about a late tire change, but I would still not use them as a regular winter tire because they absolutely suck on ice. They're okay in snow.
These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.
Of those three, I'd go with Coopers
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.
I'm disliking mine. Could have been a suspension problem initially. But at 65-75/80 the steering wheel shakes. Still travels straight, but the annoyance of seeing/feeling it shake is terrible.
