Tires Cooper or Vredestein
I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.
My Vredestein Quatrac’s have been great, and are pretty reasonably priced.
I’m running 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer AT3s on my 2019 OR and they’re great. Tons of grip in every situation I’ve encountered so far.
I’m happy with Cooper Rugged Trek.
I am a Jeep girl and use Coopers exclusively - I know I am late to the party, and I am running ATX type tires for occasional off road, but I love Coopers. Put them on my dd car, too.
I would look at the cooper zeon crossrange (made in USA), similar price but from a much more reputable brand.
These tires are the most grippy tires I've ever had, including the most traction on wet roads I've ever had. I rotated them regularly. Anyways, Cooper Zeon RS3 - fantabulous performance in dry and wet, at the expense of relatively short lifespan.
They did great in mild snow and have stood up well on treadwear with good range. I didn’t have high hopes for them but they have been great so far.
I had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.
Positives:
+ Quiet and smooth ride
+ Very reliable on flooded highways
Negatives:
- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.
I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?
- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.
Just bought 4 new cooper pro control tires. Been driving for a week and they are a bit loud and have a slight shake or vibration. Already took the car in to double check balance and they said it is fine. I am still getting the vibration.
