Tires SUMITOMO or Cooper
I’m running 265/75/16 Cooper Discoverer AT3s on my 2019 OR and they’re great. Tons of grip in every situation I’ve encountered so far.
I’m happy with Cooper Rugged Trek.
I am a Jeep girl and use Coopers exclusively - I know I am late to the party, and I am running ATX type tires for occasional off road, but I love Coopers. Put them on my dd car, too.
I would look at the cooper zeon crossrange (made in USA), similar price but from a much more reputable brand.
These tires are the most grippy tires I've ever had, including the most traction on wet roads I've ever had. I rotated them regularly. Anyways, Cooper Zeon RS3 - fantabulous performance in dry and wet, at the expense of relatively short lifespan.
I ran sumitomo htr z5 for a few years and liked them a lot (summer/perf). Currently on vredestein quattrac pro which is more of an all season sport touring, and meh, I like them and they're great at what they are but I miss having performance tires in the summer.
They did great in mild snow and have stood up well on treadwear with good range. I didn’t have high hopes for them but they have been great 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 learned this for myself a long time ago when I had decided to go cheap for once and get some Sumitomo. I could feel the car's handling characteristics changed immediately (it felt like the back was "gliding" in the turns leaving the parking lot, which was probably sidewall flex).
