I have a 2001 Chevy S10 in very good condition with only 88,000 miles on it. Has a set(4) of 31/10.5/15 Kelly Safari TSA`s .
Looking for some new tires.
Opinions on these - Falken Wildpeak AT3 , Cooper Discover AT3 , or get another set of Kelly`s ?
Truck has a 2" lift kit , might go with 235 or 265/75 R 15 this time. Thanks

Make popcorn.

I buy nothing but Michelin tires. I’m popping some popcorn as we post. Got a couple Bud Lites on ice too.

Yup on the Michelins. I keep looking at Goodyear Silent Armor tires, but I don't need tires.

You ought to ask for recommendations on chainsaws and chili while you are at it.

Just get it all out of the way in one thread.

Is that all Barry?

I just got a set of these for my F250 at discount tire for a very good price. They have been excellent so far. They had a longer warranty than the Michelins, made in America, and about $50 a tire cheaper.

You live in snow country, get Nokians.

Story of our lives.

It's enough for Chapter One....

I just a couple of months ago put a new set of Firestone Destination A/T2 on my 3rd Gen 4runner and I am more than happy with them. It had the original Destination AT on it and I got about 45,000 miles out of them but they were terrible on a wet road from day one. These 2nd gen Destination A/T2 tires has a new rubber compound and a lot of Siping in the tread, plus they are 3-peak snow rated now and they are the best tires I have ever had on this 4runner.

I can now go around a turn in the rain without fishtailing. Oh, and did I say they are very quiet.

Ditto on the tires, and popcorn, but gin and tonic for liquid refreshment.

these if you had 16"

Falken Wildpeak AT3s are my favorite tires. Smooth ride. Quiet. Tread has saved me from several bad situations. The only tires that’s held up even close as long were BFGs.

Stihl chainsaws and Wolfbrand chili, plus a few Bud Lights to wash it down.

Nothing wrong with asking about tires, it just comes up so often. The old 'fire it still is.

Definitely the Cooper at3. Awesome all around tires

I run Falken WIldpeaks on all of my bigger vehicles.

I order them on Amazon, tax free, free shipping to my front door WAYYYY cheaper than I can find anything similar locally. And a trusted local tire shop mounts/balances for $15 per.

You gonna use a nonstick skillet or a cast iron skillet ?

High tech, microwave.

Thanks for your inputs,cut`s,n ribs My popcorn needs extra salt .


I like these , alot like the Kelly Safari .

I run falken, hold up well and ride quiet.

you know you're a tire slut when you put General Grabber AT's on your UTV trailer

PS.....another good choice in 15"

Oil, dino vs. synthetic and oil change intervals.

I've run the Kelly's and they are good tires. They wore well. I rotated them but not as often as you're supposed to and they never cupped or wore uneven. However, the last 3 or 4 sets of tires have been Cooper AT3s. The current set is the AT3 XLTs. They seem to be just like the previous sets. They are quiet, go well in the snow and are wearing even. I have no complaints with either.

Edit to add: The truck for all of these tires is a GMC Sierra 2500 HD.

I’m out of popcorn and beer!

I research TireRack.com for good choices. Love the comparision charts and reviews from actual buyers. That lead me to putting Firestone tires on several of my vehciles and could not be happier.

I used to use Cooper and have not been disappointed. But their marketing has changed. They used to only sell to independent shops and offered $50-$80 rebates several times a year. The rebates along with independent tire store pricing made it hard to buy anything else. They now only sell to the bigger chains and I haven't seen a rebate in a while. When I was looking for new tires in November they were more expensive than I was willing to pay.

Falken gets an awful lot of good reviews and I strongly considered them. The guy who runs the tire store where I've bought for the last 30 years recommended these instead.

Same tire as the Falken, made in the same factory with another name on the sidewall. A good bit less expensive through him. This is the tire I was planning to buy.

BUT... My tire guy decided to retire and closed his shop before I got back to buy tires. I bought these instead from our Sams Club. I have about 2000 miles on them and have been very pleased. They are a new tire and there are very few reviews on them. They are priced to sell for now, but if they take off I'd not be surprised to see them go up. They ended up a lot cheaper than Cooper, about the same as Falken and only about $40 more than Sumitomo.
