I tell everyone the same thing, but rarely do they listen. Kumho AT51. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/K88222GL/20161027-124801.jpg) I’ve been running these the last 3 years. On snow packed, icy or slushy roads they’ve been very good and at a lower price than most comparable tires. But it’s no extreme mud tire, but I try to avoid that anyway.

I'd like to thank everyone for ditching their stock tires and getting something else. This allowed me to get several dirt cheap sets of used tires that still had the little nubbies on them. Idk what's wrong with my pickups but I've never had problems with stock tires.

I would suggest looking at the fallen wildpeak at3ws tires. Amazing runner for the money! Excellent choice and one I will make again when needed.

I have run the ST Maxx and the Goodyear Duratracs on my 2011 Chevy 1500 and would give the Duratracs the edge in snow and ice. I think the ST Maxx do a little better in mud, The Duratracs would go 55K easy before changing. Not sure the ST Maxx I have on now will make 55K. Of the 2 I would buy the Duratracs over the ST Maxx. My 2018 1500 came with Goodyear Eagle tires, they are only good for paved roads and not much snow, but they are quiet and ride nice.

I hate Coopers.
We keep buying them because of the service our local store provides.
About three weeks ago I replaced the stock Toyota oem Dunlops which had done 53000 kms with Cooper Discoverer ATT, which surprisingly enough are quieter than the Dunlop road tyres, the Coopers also have less body roll in the corners. I am pleased with the purchase. Added, and as for snow...heck man, my freezer doesn't get as cold as your doorstep!

I hit a sidewall on a rock with my Cooper AT3's and blew one. They had about 50% left so I found a used tire at a tire shop. They had an almost new Michelin Defender for $60. I wish they'd had 3 more. That would have been $240 for a set of near new LT tires.

Been running Toyo Open Country A/T II on mine. Will buy another set when thy are done This Got those on my 4 Runner, but I don't consider them good for snow tire needs... off road they do okay... for winter tires on my cars and other vehicles I prefer Hankook Winter Tires been using hyrdrophilic snow tires since the early 1980s..... used them back in Minnesota and now here in Oregon... great in both wet heavy rain, and then real wet snow... do good with snow packed roads also.. especially when studded...

After driving my new truck home last night in that snow I discovered something. 4wd all the way and I'm not impressed. Slip sliding away, what I discovered was those damn street tires the put on a truck ain't worth squat.
I asked my dealer freind about that once, he said with that kind of truck they sell the ride, unlike something like a TRD.
It's a truck, let the tires sing and rumble, but let them bite when it counts. Screw the ride.
Now looking at A/T tires after I sell my old truck.
Thinking Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx
More so, even the name brand tires that come new on factory vehicles are NOT the same tire as we buy at the tire store, instead they are cheaper, usually useless version. Those Coopers with that aggressive of tread won't last long on pavement, and will be pretty noisy. The Firestone Transforce are the best 10 ply tires I've found on hardpack snow, although I'm not sure if the new version of those tires are quite as good as the first version. have any new snow tire sipped and it improves packed snow traction dramatically.... that and add studds to them.... and carry a set of chains, when the going really gets to be a pain in the ass....

Factory tire, Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac LT275/65R18. Not much off road going on with this vehicle. Damn these tires are loud, slight sway at 75mph.Good on wet and snow covered roads. Can't imagine them being outstanding on ice, not much is without chains or studs. Decided to bite the bullet and run them til I need new tires. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Wo1WR37.jpg)

Monday I will call the tire place and get the best tire they got because someone named Skankhunt challenged my my driving skills on the internet.
