I've had good luck with cooper AT3's , I never expect more than 30k out of a tire on my 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesels. Coopers are way cheaper than Toyo and wear better.
Dont know. But 2 sets now. I dont drive like an asshole but I also dont really rotate my tires like I should either. Fucking tires just seem to last and have good traction to the endHow the fuck are you getting 95k out of a tire that isn't hard as a rock?
My tires are bald by 30k at which time they have plugs and patches, a few sidewall cuts and are leaky slowly from somewhere.
Sure. Probably. BFG at ko2's Suck is all I got to add. They got good snow traction bit if if you 2 year out of them before they become square you're doing good.As the title suggests Im looking for tires for the truck, its a 99 chevy 3500 crew cab. I always get them through walmart. Yes I know walmart sucks but every time Ive been on the road and had a tire issue there was a walmart nearby.
So anyways wally world has the Cooper Discoverer A/T All-Seasons 10 ply at a half decent price. Anybody run them? How do they wear? Price is right around $140 per tire for the size I run which is lower than other brands same size.
Of course the whole get what you pay for makes me curious as to quality. Ive run coopers on a truck in the past but I dont remember how they worked out.

Cummins 2500 guyI had them on a Chevy 3500 dually and they cupped horribly with semi-regular rotations.
I run AT3’s on my Chevys. Not my favorite tires but not terrible. I just ordered a set of General ATx for my truck.
The Coopers do not perform as well in the snow as I’d like.
Aren’t the ATx’s studdable?The generals are decent in the snow. They are rock chunking assholes though. You can leave a gravel road and hear rocks dinging for the next hour.
Snow, well, I just bought a set of these with carbide studs... Grabber™ Arctic LT
Once you have studded snows, everything else is pure garbage in the winter.
Yes they are. Just bought a set a few months back.Aren’t the ATx’s studdable?

Realistically any snow on top of a road is going to be slush 9x/10. In those conditions having studs and wide threads to channel the slush through count for a lot.Yes. But they also are made of a compound that won't melt above 40*.
Studs give you the grip on pure ice, but the compound and tread design are huge on packed and loose snow.
You either don't get cold, or you live where they have a competition to see how many vehicles they can rust out every winter.Realistically any snow on top of a road is going to be slush 9x/10. In those conditions having studs and wide threads to channel the slush through count for a lot.
Once it gets down to 0, -10, -20 for daytime highs, there is no slush. Just pure smooth slick roads.
I've lived places like that. The gravel roads turn to ice. The paved roads get cleared.
Driving in power on pavement is still a rare enough thing to not really be a consideration unless you're going looking for reasons to spend $$ and coming up short in all other areas.
Looks like Utah to meMontana or Idaho.

If it makes you feel any better, I make exactly what I made in 2005.Slight Highjack but still relevant because Cooper. Work truck, 2020 4x4 F-250 6.2 gasser superduty. Just had to have new tires put on it. The cheapest mud tires I have access to are Cooper Discoverer STT Pros. The ones removed today had 49,103 miles on them. They still had 5/32 tread or better but had a rock on a dirt road stab through the tread area on one, non reparable. Going into winter so might as well replace all of them. 285/70/17 load range E. $1,447.62 OTD.
October 2nd 2020 last year the same set of 4 was $1,151.52. #letsgobrandon 🤬
I think I do too.If it makes you feel any better, I make exactly what I made in 2005.
😭
I just randomly wonder- WTF did I do with that money?I think I do too.

2005 I owned a house worth 1/3 of current (actually less than 1/4 if we're going by appraisal) $35 water bill, $120 elec, you could get a buggy full of groceries for $100 etc. etc. etc.
... and I make the same now.
Exactly. Look at what they people who are of similar means and are that age now are doing. They're buying their first houses but there's no money left over after that for recreational projects like wheeling.You used to be able to wheel
