2018 explorer tire upgrade 265/50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
I had cooper evo tours on my E90 bmw, they were good tires, a little on the noisy side but otherwise fine, especially for the price I paid.
Get any reputable tire: Falken Sincera, Continental Control Contact, Yokohama AVID, Hankook Kinergy, Cooper Evolution, etc. Spend a total of $50 more, and your tires will run much safer, and for even longer.
They were good tires IMHO. No complaints, other than the road noise from them was loud on the freeway.
I put Cooper CS5 Grand Touring's on my Fit this summer and they've been great!
Cooper AT3 XLT. Fantastic road manners, quiet, smooth, amazing wet/snow grip (also 3PMSF rated). Also, they look fantastic.
I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.
I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.
They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.
Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.
I run NT05 on my R32. I'm in AZ so rain isn't much of a worry, but the times I have driven it in the rain, I never had much of an issue. I think when they wear, and they will much more quickly than your average tire, they will become very tricky to use in the wet.
My experience with the Cooper AT3:
2011 Land Rover LR4. I Put about 50k miles on the set in 2 years. No punctures.
* Excellent on road manners
* Quiet, smooth.
* Even tread ware
* AWFUL (I.E. not safe) Snow and ice performance
* Poor mud traction, poor gravel traction, mehh wet traction.
