From my experience with working with them, I would go with the Toyo. Seem to balance better and wear out more evenly than the Nitto's.
Cooper winter evolution are pretty aggressive in snow and ice and studdable
I do like my AT3s but man do they ever hold onto rocks
Waited a month with enough miles to report this, however when I went from stock 20s to 275/70/R18 BFG KO2s they more aggressive and heavier tire took 2.5-3 MPG of efficiency from my 21 PB. I got 45k miles from those tires and they were great. In need of new tires I did some research and always heard Toyos were pretty good. So I felt like mixing it up with a new tire. I learned that Toyo early this year came out with a version of the Open Country that is for electric vehicles. A month and 1500 miles later, including some long road trips camping and my regular city driving, I can say that my trip readings are actually 1.5 MPG improved.
I’ve run those Toyo’s OC AtIII tires. Worked great on road, off road, and really did well in the snow. I’d recommend them for SUV vehicles.
You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.
I have Cooper Evolution Winters that are studdable. Huge fan of them and have never gotten stuck in the Wisconsin winters before.
They are decent. I’ve ran the AS 4, Proxes and also the Extreme Contact DWS before. I would call the AS 4 and Extreme Contacts a tier 1 All Season tire, and the Proxes tier 2. The Proxes aren’t bad by any means but the dry grip isn’t on the same level as the other two especially at colder temperatures.
I had a pair of coopers with early signs of dry rot on my car when I got into my first accident, 15 minutes after it rained the roads were still a little wet and they totally lost traction when I tried to brake/steer away frm the dude turning across my lane.
I have Cooper tires on my F-150, tires around 4 years old now and they are cracking pretty bad too
