It finally came down to the Cooper Discoverer AT/3. The reviews I read and watched said it has good wet road traction and does decent off road. My experience for the last 50k miles on them supports that conclusion.
I drove about 8k miles on a set of RS-Rs. They ride fairly stiff and produce a hum. Wet traction actually not bad at all. Dry performance was obviously exemplary.
Nothing wrong with Cooper tires. I've the S/Ts on my 2000 4runner years ago. They were amazing.
I currently have the Federals for autocross and the grip is fantastic...
Cooper 100%. The Coopers are light, have a great A/T tread, and will do well in snow.
EDIT: And they last forever. I had 55k on the A/T3s on my last truck when I sold it, and they still had plenty of life left.
I'm now on my third set of Cooper At3s and will continue to buy them. Good road manners, good in dry/wet, and predictably confident in snow. I'm in a New England and have plowed with all three trucks I put the Coopers on- I had them on an 01 Ram, 14 F150, and now on my 15 Sierra 1500. Very good tire for the money. Highly recommend.
Cooper makes some fantastic tires. I run the Zeon LTZ on my Ram, and the rain/snow performance is awesome.
He immediately switched to the cooper's st Maxx tires. He has had this truck a 1 year maybe a year and a half and has already destroyed the 3 yr/36,000 mi basic, 5 yr/60,000 mi powertrain warranty. These tires went on when the truck was still pretty much new.
Here is my setup i was running 195/40/16 federal on my 8J's but was rubbing Too.... so i put them on my 9J's and bought NSII 165/40/16 Here is what they look like
Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
