Tires Nexen or Cooper
I’ve been running them on my Golf R as my dedicated winter tires (winspike 2 on dedicated winter wheels) and they have been incredible.
I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.
I have them on my 4Runner replacing prior at3 4s tires. Took a chance on them. I find them even better the prior at3 4s - as quiet as the original stocks. smooth easy riding on highway, outstanding in snow and slush - had them in a mini blizzard the first week. slightly more “aggressive” aesthetic if that’s your thing. Very happy with them.
Honda Ridge, had the original roadian htx for first set, they held up great. good in dry and rain, no hydro issues, lasted long time, and decent ride. they can ride a little firm but i also have a Ridge. held air really well.
Hands down the Cooper Cobra Instinct out of those listed.
Out of all the ones you have listed, I would take the Nexens without a second thought... Great tires, very underrated, and arguably the best warranty in the industry including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.
I have a 2017 cx5 gt. I live in Pennsylvania with horrible roads, so I went with cooper discoverer enduramax, and I love them. Performed great in the two snow storms so far.
I have had my Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail A/T tires since Aug 2024. Tires are very noisy compared to the Falken tires that I replaced. I have also noticed a reduction in fuel economy. They work great in the snow but I can't deal with the noise.
Just bought 4 new cooper pro control tires. Been driving for a week and they are a bit loud and have a slight shake or vibration. Already took the car in to double check balance and they said it is fine. I am still getting the vibration.
I had these tires for about 8-10k miles then took them off. They did ok for turns and handling but I did not have good overall experience
