I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.
Kumho tires are a decent brand.
I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.
What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.
The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.
I’d recommend Cooper Discoverer STT Pro, they handle well as daily driver offroad tires, road noise is not that bad on the highway and their mud and snow performance is very good.
i have the cooper rugged trek and they’re awesome! they more aggressive but still quiet on the road.
I have been very happy with my Cooper Road and Trails. Good wet and dry weather traction so far and quiet, or at least not noticeable to me.
They may not be the absolute best winter tire, but they're a solid options and much better than all seasons.
I just put on the Cooper Discoverer Road + Trail AT last week on my Disco 5. I have done about 150miles on them, mixed surface streets and highway speed (75mph) but no off road yet. They have been good so far, Im happy with them as for road comfort and noise. My significant other didn't notice any difference at all and that confirms my thoughts on good comfort and little noise change. :)
I’ve always had good results with Cooper tires, except in extreme cold - the one set became like hockey pucks with little to no traction (-40 though so fair enough).
Turns out I had one bad tire that was making the car pull. I won't go back to NTB and I won't buy Cooper tires. (Even though it was probably just one freak bad tire but it made my life miserable for a long time and wasted a bunch of my time.
Ran coopers for a lot of years. Then had a relatively new set on my Grand Prix say 10k miles. Went on a road trip in 800 miles had 3 bulge out to different degrees.
