Between the two, Cooper is a well known brand that I've seen on every tire website and in every tire shop I've visited. Go with the Coopers, they're tried and tested and you can at least know they won't randomly blow out or have dangerously low grip.
I used to have that on my F150 and I fell in love with them. I didn't feel water on the road and they were good in mud and gravel. They were also fairly quiet. I love the fact that they're rated for winter use, so in Quebec where I'm from, I don't have to worry about a late tire change, but I would still not use them as a regular winter tire because they absolutely suck on ice. They're okay in snow.
These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.
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.
Hands down the Cooper Cobra Instinct out of those listed.
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 normally rock cooper's on my cars before but this is my first ev so I'm learning as I go.
Cooper tires are a joke. I just got a set and one popped on a gravel road and the other just started losing air for no reason.
These photos show what happened to two of my 265/75R16 E rated Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires after 4 years and 25k miles. One blew up and one developed a bulge.
