Tires FEDERAL or Cooper
Cooper Discoverer STT Pro
Built like a MT, rated like an AT. Good in all conditions.
When we bought our Limited, the dealer put the AT3 sports on it. They did just fine in rain and snow, a few trips from NM to CA and forest service roads in CO. We got about 60k out of them. I have the defenders on the vehicle now and am happy with them as well.
I got theCooper AT3’s for my 2012 4runner and loved them, drove more than 50k (and counting). They give a deep tread and were a game changer (vs Dunlops) especially in any rain or snow. All it took was one sleet/snow to feel the difference. I’ve also driven cross country four times with the Coopers and never noticed any issues with noise or mpg.
I am a big fan of the EnduraMax tire, it's on my Tucson AWD in North Dakota which gets wild climate swings throughout the year and brutal winter conditions, and has performed very well... I like it better than the Firestones WeatherGrips (had on my pickup, was OK but very noisy, switched to Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 and have been very pleased) or the Goodyear Weatherguard which in my opinion is a decent All-weather tire but hardly worth the GoodYear brand premium price.
I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.
I have these on my Colorado and absolutely love them in the winter time. They do not perform great in heavy rain though.
Great tire all around. I’ve had mine for 2 years and have been great in all weather conditions
I have em on my Silverado - they have held up well.
I love/hate my Discoverer AT3s. Love them for mileage, and noise level. Hate them because now I hear everything else I need to fix.
Starfire tires are a budget brand of tire made by Cooper. They're typically using Cooper's older, less advanced rubber compounds, some of which are absolutely terrifying in wet conditions and tend to be OK to good in the dry. They typically have a short tread life.
