i have probably about 55k on my Cooper AT3s and will probably get another 10-15k at least before having to change them. That being said, i will probably get the
Michelin AT2s next.

Why no to the nittos? I have the AT grapplers and they have been going strong for about 30k.

Loving my Cooper ST Maxx, too bad they don't make them in your size. I put a borderline too big set on my truck and all I had to do was remove a few plastic parts around the front tires. They are ATs, and ride better than you'd think.

Yeah I'm extremely limited on tires based on the size I want. I don't want to go much wider than my stock 245s due to already terrible MPG and I can't go too big/tall anyway b/c my garage is 6'7" and not sure I could get bigger tires and a lift for them to fit in the wells and still fit in the garage.

Had some Nittos on one of the old Vettes. Rears didn't hold up worth a crap.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Coopers. Hopefully I don't get a bad batch w/ tread separation issues.

I have Goodyear Duratracs on my 150 right now and I'm kinda disappointed in the wear. I've only got 50k miles on them and they're already pretty much shot. They're great tires though. Super quiet and much more aggressive than most ATs, but super expensive. I probably won't buy another set, but just saying that I might shy away from the Goodyears just because of the wear.

If you could squeeze an extra .1 inches in height and .4 in width you'd get a ton more options with a 275/60/20.

But with those options, I'd go Cooper. Had Nittos and they didn't wear well, and I'm never a Goodyear fan.

yeah but trying to avoid those for multiple reasons including MPG and avoiding any fender mods or body mount chops which I know some of which will be required with those on my vehicle.

Those cooper's are basically bridgestone- firestone dueller, destination a/t's.


Same rubber and great tires
