Tires Firestone or Cooper
I also have a set of coopers on my tj. I’ve been very impressed with them so far and love how they chew through the really deep stuff, mud or snow. Main thing is that they’re heavy which has put some wear on my steering rack and tire carrier, they can be pretty loud on the freeway with the top off but I love that.
Put them on my 22 TRD OR. Quiet, smooth ride, handle anything reasonable. As long as you’re not trying to do any massive off roading and worst terrain is going to deer camp on a rainy day they’re perfect.
Solid midrange choice.
Much better in all conditions than the Cooper AT3 S4s they replaced (though to be fair they were older and ready to be replaced). They ride quietly, comfortably aren’t killing my gas mileage and performed very very well in the recent snow.
Cooper winter evolution are pretty aggressive in snow and ice and studdable
I do like my AT3s but man do they ever hold onto rocks
2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.
Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.
5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.
Firestone destination le3 is decent and cheap tire there, a lot of sizes. Is the tire amazing? Fuck no, but has great wet traction, low rolling resistance, and through the roof treadwear.
I'm disliking mine. Could have been a suspension problem initially. But at 65-75/80 the steering wheel shakes. Still travels straight, but the annoyance of seeing/feeling it shake is terrible.
Heads up, the **Firestone Primewell Velera HT** tires are **JUNK**. I paid all most 1K for a set and less then a year later they started to separate. The store replaced one and then about 6 months later a second and third tire repeated the issue. Ride has always been crap
