I've heard them cussed and discussed, but I bought a set of cooper discoverer at3 4s and I really liked them. We had record snow this season, 56" and they worked really well. Today I drove county roads to take my son to Indoor facility for baseball. Everything thaws out last couple days and it rained 1/2" today. Roads were awful. I left ruts almost a foot deep in stretches trying to get through mud up hills. No problem, I was impressed with them this season for sure. I drove a lot of snow and mud trapping December and January this winter. So far, I am Sold on them. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I just put a set of cooper at3s on mine. I really like them. Previously ive had BFG all terrain and nitto terra grapplers. I like the coopers the best. They were also cheaper than the others. 285/70/17 and i paid 800 for the set mounted. the others were 900-1100 mounted.

I wouldn't put Cooper's on a golf cart. Had 2 sets on 2 different trucks. They started out good but sucked crap after 1/2 worn. Tires that state long milage are seldom good off road tires. Just the way it is!

Roadain MT tires are what I run have been for years, good lugs and they hold up well they come in 15 and 16 inch that I know of the Toyota gets a set when the factory junk ones wear out! They are coming out with a more aggressive tread the guy at the tire shop was saying the last time I was in there.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

BFG Mud terrain or BFG All terrain. So far, no other considerations.

Cooper At3 4s is all I run on both my truck and wife's SUV. A little noisy in the SUV, but with the rain we have had. I will gladly take a little noise versus slip slide and away. Sarge

I had two sets of those crappy Cooper's, both sets had a tire fail when half wore out so I had to buy all four again, Cooper's are about an inch shorter than a Firestone or Michelin. I figured I lost about one mile per gallon with the short Cooper, same tire number as others, hankook tires are hard riding, hydroplaning junk I really like the Michelin
