Haven’t heard much about those, but they are quite a bit cheaper! I’ll look into them. It’s for one of our old 3/4 ton pickups I use mostly at the Ranch, and to pull my Travel Trailer every great once in a while. Like I mentioned, the Toyo’s and Cooper’s were highly recommend. I’ll consider the Goodyear Wrangler’s now too, after I go take a look at them. Thanks Tikkanut !

Coopers....F150 4WD and the set is approaching 60K miles in good shape. It had Toyos from the factory and I'll never have another set of trash tires like that. Got almost 13k miles with them.
I am..........disturbed.

Give the Toyo M-55 a look.

You guys sure like those Coopers.
I just cant seem to warm up to them.
Me neither. Cooper are like the "Vortex" line of pickup tires. If I just wanted "tough" and didn't have to worry about snow/ice I'd get Toyo M-55's with my 2nd choice being Michelin LTX. If running in snow/ice for any part of the year, Nitto Exo Grapplers.

I like the Cooper ST Maxx and haven't had any issues.
They might not last as long as some others but I don't drive that particular pickup enough to care.

Cooper Discoverers made my 2006 F150 drive like new. the truck has 162,000 miles on it, and these are the first tires that make it drive like it is supposed to.

Gruff, only been stuck once cuzzin'.
Down in the sand!
Jim, I have not had that issue. This last set might not have ever been rotated and I can cruise 70-80mph down the highway in the ol' Ford smoother than a Cadillac.
The drivers are wearing a little funky but zero vibration.
(and they are 3/4 wore out)

Just put another set of falkens on my pu today. The shop didn't put the lead weights on them to balance them, just put a bean bag inside the tire when mounting them no balancing them. Drove the truck up the road and ran smooth. Anyone else ever get the bean bag weights?

Can't go wrong with either of those, I'm trying the AT 2's currently. No complaints.
May try the Coopers next time

My Cooper at3 had a catastrophic sidewall blowout when I was running 25 mph down a dirt road pulling 6K lbs. I about ended up in a dump ditch. The tire shop gave me whatever I wanted. I chose toyo atII extremes. Haven't regreted that for the last 55K miles.

Question for the Michelin fans. My Tundra OEM tires were the Michelin LTX AT/2. Are these the tires that you guys like? I ask because they had terrible sidewall flex, in corners on pavement. Once I got them off the wheels they were more like a car tire than a truck tire. Weak carcass, and overall very flimsy. Or, are you guys running a different LTX? Maybe a 10-ply equivalent? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8C9rhhJ7/IMG-20170529-134524111.jpg)
