Warning: Thread revival.
I followed this thread with interest 6 months ago but wasn't then in need of tires. Now I am.
I currently have 51K on a set of Toyo Open County AT2's. They are on a 2016 F250 6.7 4x4 and is my heavy RV towing machine. My two gripes with the Toyo's are increasing horrible wet traction and they beginning to lose chunks of tread here and there, some are showing cords and will be replaced forthwith.
Are you Cooper guys who have run your Cooper's awhile now still pleased with them?
Thanks 51K sounds like a fantastic life for any AT. If I get 40K, I think I've won the lottery.

I don't know squat about tires or the best current tire on the market and my tire guy could sell me whatever he cared to and he moved me to Coopers a few years back, I was running Toyos.
I have zero complaints...gotta trust him, I can't be an expert on everything..

Only reason to run Coopers is if there is a shop close by with excellent service.
Otherwise.....pass em by.
I am MAGA.

I know not what was asked but the Hankook dyna pro atm's have been the best tire I've ever run. Last set had 80,000 + when I sold the pickup and still looked good. Swapped the tires on the new pickup as soon as I got it. The new at m's only have 58,000 on them but still look like new. I spend a lot of miles on rock. Where I live and what I do is hard on tires, eastern MT. I couldn't believe what these tires do. Used to run Goodyear rugged's until they dropped them. Quiet and good in snow and ice.

I use both. Cooper is considerably cheaper for me to order compared to Toyo.

We use the Hankook Dyna Pro on our patrol vehicles. I can get four years of of them.

Looking at The Toyo Open Country A/T II - or the Cooper DISCOVERER AT3 XLT
Just for everyday Ranch use and Highway mileage.
I’ve always run the MICHELIN LTX A2, But several folks are recommending the Toyo’s and some are recommending the Cooper’s. We've had great luck with the Michelin LTX A2 on my wife's Lexus LX470 so I just put a new set of those on my daughter's first vehicle (Subaru Outback). I've also run Bridgestone, Goodyear and BFGoodrich and love the BF Goodrich AT/2. Just curious why you've ruled those out in favor of Toyo and Cooper?
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

Generals are pretty cheap right now at least in the size I run on my powerwagon.
Might be worth a look.

Toyo hands down. They started running them on the crew cabs at the mine and hardly had a flat. The harder composition outlasted whatever they were using before by many times over.

COOPER AT3 TIRES ARE OK UNTIL YOU GET TO ABOUT HALF TREAD. THEN THEY GET SO DAMNED LOUD YOU CANT HEAR NOTHING BUT THEM.
TOYO TIRES,RIDE BETTER,LAST LONGER AND DONT GET LOUD.

Can't say I've noticed any increase in noise with my Coopers.

Firestone on my truck. I'm happy I have the OEM Firestone Transforce that everyone hates. They have been perfect for me. At 58,000 not one problem and they are in good condition yet. I'm not seeing any trends develop in this thread yet.

I've always ran Michelin's, never had an issue but would never get more than 50K miles out of them, at $300 a piece I tried the Cooper AT3's and liked them, $100 a piece cheaper. My wife once got 110K miles out of a set of Michelins on her Toyota Highlander. No experience with Toyo's.

Just bought a set of Toyo Open Country AT'3's for my Ram 1500. Quiet going down the road and have been good off road so far. My size is rated 65.000 miles, we will see.
