I have them on my Dodge 3/4. They're about half worn out now. They're ok but I can't say they're anything special. They're not great on ice.

I run the Toyo open country at's on my Dodge 2500 and get good service from them. Most of my driving is on the highway, but do run the Dalton highway several times a year. I usually get 50-60K miles out of a set.They aren't bad in snow but don't work well on ice. I run Bridgestone Blizzak's in winter.

I used to be in tires back in the day. 1000% unquestionably I recommend BFG All Terrains when this question comes up on here. They work well in everything including being one of the very very few ice rated truck tires. They wear like steel IF YOU ROTATE THEM. I've seen 90k on a pretty bald set. 70k wasn't uncommon. Coopers in my opinion are of a lower quality. They were back then at least. Yokohamas are pretty decent. I have a pair on a 2500HD I bought and they have 65K on a set of Geolander AT's. No matter what u buy rotate them. Religiously. It will add 20-30% to the life of a truck tire. especially if you have a diesel with so much weight hanging on the front tires.

Not anything special on snow etc,but the yet they do have a heavier side wall and are great if you run a lot of heavy loads like a slide in camper. I think they are better on diesels with that heavy front end because of that side wall. Duratracks sucked on the diesel. JMJHO though.
I run them on my Tacoma in the summer and the M&S studded in the winter. Ditto when I had my 98 Dodge . I still have original Firestones on my 2019 Chevy, but will go with the Coopers when replaced

ST Maxx is a better choice

Consumer Reports puts Coopers 11th down the list of all terrain truck tires with only the first six as recommended. Their top rated tire is the Continental Terrain Contact A/T.
My other auto is a .45

Over all, but how does it rate for side wall stability which for me is more important than mileage or ride. Going down the road with 16-17,000 pound gross, a person sure needs heavy duty side walls when hitting curves.The ST Maxx have performed great for me and I had about 150K combined on my Dodge and 35k or soon the Tacoma.Sometimes it is the experience on performance rather than what the ratings show. On several of these truck tire threads, Coopers have always been near the top of peoples choices. Easier on the pocket book vs Goodyear for what you get

Ha Tiki, I am thinking about putting the P's on my wife's Tacoma. Heaviest thing that is ever in it is groceries and it is her every day driver.Those Load Range D and E's even with only 30 pounds in them sure ride rough.

True enough in that what CR probably rates tires more for the half ton trucks. They don't specify, but lump the SUV's into the same segment. You western working guys use a truck way differently than those of us that just pull the boat around or have a deer or two in the back.

Running Toyo Open Country on my ‘02 F250 and Coopers on the ‘14 F250. Both are good tires. The Toyos have 50k miles and ready for a new set. The ‘14 pulls a 42’ 5th wheel and seem to be doing great. They both are rock chuckers. Ran Yokohama’s in the past also and had good luck with them.

Thanks guys I ended up with the Continental terrain contact A/T tires I have winter tires that I switch to so the snow and ice was not a concern with this set of tires. These are rated good so time will tell so far so good Quiet and handle well on dry pavement

Several of us run the Discoverer AT3 E rated on our plow trucks. They are not Blizzack ice tires but very good. Much better than the older and harder compound Discoverer A/T. Great in heavy rain and farm fields. The tread has good clean out to keep bitting forward instead of trenching deep. Mud roads that are sidewall deep were handled in 4x4. The tire noise was not as loud as I expected, obviously louder than h/t but no whirring. Been pleased with the towing mannerisms. Have never tried them in burried to the axles swamp mud or rock crawling.
Never tried the Discoverer AT3 XLT.

I read up on the AT3 4S vs the XLT. They recommend the XLT for heavy towing. They're better off road and also for heavy loads. They don't last as long as the 4S's as they're a little different rubber material but the're close. Mine don't say XLT, they say M&S but that's what the XLT is.
