my biggest complaint, and probably my only real one, is the road noise. The interior can be pretty loud, especially on the freeway. I’m fairly confident that most of this comes down to the stock tires, because otherwise the car feels tight and well put together.
I went with the cooper ATPII They were $269 a tire at discount over Christmas week. So far just as quiet as the pirellis started out, i have them at 60PSI instead of 48PSI and the efficiency is near enough no difference. They are an LT tire so they are rated for more pressure then the oem’s.
In the mud so far they have done just as well, the on road feel is no different. I really like them, they are M&S rated but not 3peak, all though that seems to not make much of a difference so far in my opinion.
If you wanna stay with Cooper's, get the Discoverer AT3S. They are a decent Road Focused All Terrain with good snow and ice ratings. I have them on my truck, and I don't slide around much unless I want it too, yanno what I mean lol.
I have dedicated snow tires that go on November 1st and come off April 1st. I don't get stuck. Cooper Evolution Winter are my favorite tread style, but several tire makers have the same tread design. The ones made in Japan are 13/32 deep and ride well.
Yes you have cheap Chinese tires. Starfire's aren't good at anything and Cooper is better but they are still well behind premium tires. The difference is crazy, all seasons (not all created equally) are usually a sketchy mess when conditions get bad but a snow tire will have tons of confidence even on ice.
A year or two ago I put Cooper Road+Trail on our 4Runner, and I’ve been thrilled. They’re a mild AT so they’re super quiet on the road. I’ve cruised plenty of forest service/dirt/gravel roads and they’ve had good traction, and no damage so far.
I just put COOPER DISCOVERER ROAD+TRAIL AT SL on my 22 Lariat PB. I like them. They are quiet and same good in dirt/mud. I’m 90% pavement but then some dirt/mud on my property. I have about 11,000 miles on them so far.
All that carbon fiber to make it light and easy to flick into corners - yet bro's never been past 15° lean. Waste of good rubber.
My little Honda Fit is so light that even with good snow tires I can't get anywhere if the roads are slick.
After 2 sets of Falken Wildpeaks I went with these Coopers for my wife\u2019s 4Runner to save a few bucks. Instant regret. Louder and not nearly as good traction in the wet/snow.
