I've got a set of discoverer at3 4s as my summer tires and discoverer snow claws for the winter. They're good tires for summer though, especially for the price I paid. Probably 80% as good as a Michelin or BF Goodrich at 60% of the price. The snow claws have been excellent.
I run 275/65r18 Toyo R/T just fine with no rubbing unless it’s at a awkward sharp turn on a steep hill
So I upgraded to new wheels and tires. I had the stock wheels and some el cheapo Chinese HiFly tires. Now I've got JR11 15 inch wheels and Toyo Proxes TR1 205/50. The car sticks to the road and is much quieter. I've much more confidence in the car and it's driving behavior is awesome right now.
We just replaced the stock Yokos with Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs. Don't have a lot of miles on them yet but they're quiet so far and have performed well in the rain.
If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.
Late last year Toyo had a special running at my local Firestone store. My company told me how much I could spend. With the special I could afford tires I wouldn't have even looked at before. I tell you what. My little CX5 rode as good if not better than my Large Acura MDX. It's so smooth and quiet it threw me off the first long trip I took. I've had them for 5 months/25k miles and they feel as good now as they did when I bought them.
used to sell tires for years. starfire or mastercraft were good. they're a lower tier tire produced by cooper that still retain a decent warranty.
My own choice is Cooper, not the cheapest, but it definitely lasted longer than any of my Goodyear or Firestone tires I had in the past.
I have a set of Cooper 225/60/18 snow tires that grip really well, but I don't like the way they drive. The skinniness makes turning feel loose, and it feels like the car is going to flip (though it definitely isn't).
I got a flat in less then a year and only 6k miles. It could be coincidental but my truck last I drove for 5 years with some Toyo and never had a issue. Plus I don’t think they’re very good in snow.
