Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Stock tires ain't worth squat

Exactly.

I had the ST max on my 2500HD. Lasted about 40k miles with a bunch of those miles towing a 14k lb toy hauler. I went Cooper AT3 this time around. Also have STT Pros on my Wrangler. I like Cooper tires. Every LT size is made in the US.

I buy Coopers if they make a tire that fits my needs

I would suggest looking at the fallen wildpeak at3ws tires. Amazing runner for the money!

All terrain tires should be called "no terrain." They aren't actually good at anything.

It depends on how you use your truck. If you are driving a 3/4 ton on blacktop pulling a horse trailer, that is different than an all around vehicle. I use mud tires that are siped. Not great on icepack, but good at everything else, and great off road.

Wrong. Cooper OTR truck tires are made in china so the US plants can make pick-up truck tires in the States. they also have several joint ventures in china. They were sold to them.

Cooper wasn't sold to the chinese. They were almost bought by an indian company, but Apollo Tyre backed out due to cooper's china business.


As for Cooper's truck tires. No issues with their AT/3's. Get over 55k on their tires, just make sure you rotate them and keep them inflated. Have been running Cooper's for decades.

I tell everyone the same thing, but rarely do they listen. Kumho AT51.

Siping isnt everything. Biting edges, tread depth and consistent medium compound the depth of tread. Kumho AT51.

My 2019 Silverado Duramax came with Firestones on them. Same thing, I hit a rock and the right rear blew out. Noisy as hell. Service guy at the Chevy garage replacing the warrantied tire said the Coopers have gone down in quality the last few years.I ran them on my 98 Dodge Ram and my wife's 2004Tacoma.

I don't by snow tires for mileage, I buy them for traction with that softer rubber. You can't get both .If someone is buying all weather or all terrain tires they are kidding themselves if they think they will be good on ice or snow

No more Coopers for me ever. My 2016 F-150 4WD is now on its second set of BFG’s and I love them. Quiet as a street tire and just as smooth riding. I can go pretty much anywhere I want to in 2WD....they’re fantastic in my little world,

I went with plain old BFG AT KO2’s... hard to beat them

Totaled my Tundra this spring when an elk hit me on a dark highway. I replaced it with a Ford F150 XLT 4 door with 13,000 miles. Came with Goodyear Wrangler Radials which I haven't used in years. I'm up to 20,000 miles and they seem to be doing well. Anyone else use them?

Does no one run Kelly Safari’s? Bought a 2004 Dodge Ram from my stepdad that he had put used Kelly Safaris on back, I drove the truck nearly three years and they still have tread left.

You are driving a 4WD truck, on a paved street and having trouble managing it in 2 inches of snow...?

My last new truck got a new set of thirty fives, leveled and lifted before I drove it home.

Those brand new car tires whent on FB marketplace

And so did the warranty on the truck....

I lost so much sleep over it.....

Im sure, makes sense.

If you want to talk apples and oranges, my truck and tires are bigger and better than yours, horse.

You've had too much egg nog.
