Tires Cooper or Shinko
Great tires. Fantastic for wheeling. Remarkably quiet for mud tires when new. After about 40,000km they start to get more road noise as the softer outer rubber compound wears off.
I run those on my xj. They're good beefy tires and I haven't had trouble with them yet in the mud. Lot of road noise but it's to be expected.
I personally like Cooper tires, they’ve always delivered the goods for me personally, but that’s not much to go on.
But I will say in general, tires of equivalent price (not on sale) I would generally choose Cooper over Toyo and the primary reason being I find Coopers are a better value for money and Toyos in my personal experience have more road noise than Cooper tires.
I switched to a hybrid highway/gravel tire made by Cooper and sold through Les Schawb after 9 years running ATs on my Sprinter. The difference in road noise is profound.
Out of these options.
Cooper 10/10
Personally, I like Uniroyals but Cooper is good too.
Coopers are WAY better tires than the Uniroyal or Westlake...
Bought a set of Cooper CS-5 Grand Touring for my RAV two years ago. Best tires I've ever put on a car.
Buyer beware. Stay away from these Pep Boy exclusive tires. My wife was drawn in by the "buy 3 get 1" promotion and bought the Cooper Adventure tires for her minivan. These are the worst tires that we've ever had. The tires could not be balanced correctly.
