I use exclusively Cooper tires and have for over a decade, they're great tires
Never had any issues with their Discoverer AT3s or their evolution touring.
Yeah I got some all season coopers for my Highlander and they have been great.
Cooper is a WAY better tire than most. I've run 70k miles on two separate sets of Discoverer tires. I put Cooper on ALL my vehicles, on purpose. Having experience with Goodyear (mostly crap), Michelin (quality, but expensive), BFG (overrated and expensive), Kelly (utter trash) and others, Cooper has always been more reliably good, at a superior price point. Their value is stellar.
I used cooper weathermaster st on my wife’s dodge grand caravan. The lasted for 6 seasons. I put some winter evolution on my son’s Honda element this year. No issues with them.
I autocrossed for a season on Cooper RS3's and they were great. Not the best performance tire but I got a good deal on them and had no issues.
I used Cooper tires on a 2006 GMC Envoy once. They served me well. I wouldn't call them a "premium" tire, but I _would_ call them a _good_ tire.
After getting them on, I was pleasantly surprised. They weren't that cheap, but a lot less than Michelines. They are quiet and have a very good ride at highway speeds.
For those who are interested, I had the Hankook ION Evo (Summer) tires installed to replace the stock Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Elect tires on my Tesla Model 3 Performance ('22). There are pros and cons compared to the stock Pirelli tires, in my opinion:
Pros:
- Quieter (especially on highways)
- More comfortable (damping on uneven road surfaces, but uneven road surfaces also less noticeable in the steering)
- Better grip in rain and wet conditions
- Slightly lighter steering feel
- Slightly easier full acceleration straight of the line
- More efficient (+/- 1% less battery consumption per trip)
Cons:
- Steering feel and response are less direct
- Grip during hard cornering is not great (at least, the limit is simply lower than with the Pirellis)
- Overall sportiness is diminished
Hankook makes some of the cheapest crappiest tires. There was an issue with premature wear on the Explorers. Michelin is better but not hugely better. I'd use Continental DWS06 any day of the week.
