Tires YOKOHAMA or Cooper
I remember back in the day getting a set of 352's because I liked how they looked and Butler Tire had a discount on them, mine weren't so wide though, just 195/60 --- the review below is accurate, they were LOUD on asphalt but good in the wet and excellent on dirt/gravel, had them on a Saab 900 that I'd take offroad quite a bit.
I picked up some Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs for my 2017 RAV4 AWD, in 235/70r16. I haven't seen many reviews of these yet, so I wanted to give some of my thoughts. I've only had them for about a week so I can't give any advice on how they'll hold up, but I have loved them so far. In central PA, we've also had a nice variety of weather in the period since I've gotten them, so they've been tested in several conditions already.
* Wet Traction - 9.5/10
* Really confidence-inspiring wet grip. This is always a question mark with AT tires, but absolutely no trouble at all with these. Braking is especially impressive, even in standing water.
* Dry Traction - 8/10
* Nothing to complain about here - stopping distance and dry traction are both more than adequate for an all-terrain tire.
* Snow Traction - 9/10
* Really impressive snow traction. I tested in deep snow and a variety of slushy conditions. The RAV4 had no trouble at all going through 4-6 inches of snow (on grass), even even starting up a hill in those conditions provided no trouble at all. Braking is also impressive in the snow, inspiring confidence on my snow-covered driveway.
* Comfort/Noise 8/10
* They definitely are a little bit stiffer going over bumps than the standard all-season tires that were on the vehicle before, but nothing I would consider to be viscerally unpleasant. Noise is relatively silent, with the addition of maybe a very slight hum at highway speeds.
Overall, I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these for a person who is interested in a fairly rugged tire that can handle all conditions adequately.
yokohama geolandar g95a On a Subaru for 5 years, no problems, but light winter driving.
Copper rugged trek. Have them on my 2500 duramax. Definitely like better them better then ko2s and dura tracks.
Cooper Endeavor Plus are some pretty good tires, I put a set on our AWD Equinox back in June, I'm happier with these than the Michelin Latitudes they replaced, and they are pretty good on slippery roads. I tested them last night on an icy spot during a snow storm and the ABS didn't kick in until well past what I normally brake at on icy roads.
All that being said, Yokohama is popular in other counties ( Australia being a big one ) and is a great tire and reputable brand.
IN MY OPINION the best tires. Great in Mud, Sand and small to medium size rocky terrain. 3 yrs and counting with the same set, no complaints.
Have had them on my Toyota for two years in Vancouver. Good performance in all conditions. Snow, wet, dry, off road. I will replace them with the same.
Just bought COOPER ENDEAVOR PLUS for $128.99 per tire from Tirerack. Have not really got a good test for them but going on a road trip this weekend with them. I got them to cut down road noise more than anything.
Bought 4 Cooper Discoverer A/T tires through walmart, had them installed at firestone roughly a year ago. Driven the truck roughly 4,000 miles and every tire has bulges in several places.
