How many miles do you average getting from them?


I’m at around 35K on this set. Last set I replaced after 50K. I probably could have gone longer and got another 5K-8k out of them. But I’ve never been good at rotating them regularly.

I usually have the shop put on whatever used tires they have that fit.

Out the door with 4 new to me tires at $285. Next time will probably be $350.

I have Cooper Discoverer AT3 on my Ram. It’s the 3rd set of Coopers I’ve put on our vehicles. I’ve never had issues with them. They’re all terrains but ride pretty quiet on the road. They aren’t expensive compared to other big name tires.



Same. I bought mine through Walmart. Cooper makes a line just for Walmart called the "Discoverer A/T". They were quite a bit cheaper than the AT3 and I have over 70k miles with plenty tread left on them

Yeah, rotating is vital to get the full life out of tires. I have my tires rotated every other 5,000 mile service.

I usually go Defenders but I just ordered Continental Terrain Contact A/T. Want to give them a try.


I have these on our F150 FX-4. Have about 25k on them and still look good.

Mild AT tire with pretty good reviews on Consumer Reports and TireRack... at least at the time we bought them just over 2 years ago...

If it’s a dodge you probably need to start thinking about a transmission

I understand your thoughts on Michelin. The “original” BF Goodrich are at 59K miles and it’s time to “think” about changing ? That’s not bad at all; maybe you should consider staying with BFG imo.
BFG is owed by Michelin and will be less expensive.

Darth, I'm getting tires for my F250 on Thursday. My choices are down to Cooper or Michelins. This will be the fourth set of tires for the truck. I had Michelins for the second set and they were great. I've never had Coopers on any vehicle, but I think I am going to give them a shot. They are also $200 cheaper than the Michelins for a set of four.

I currently have Goodyear Wranglers on the truck. I do not recommend, terrible grip, mediocre wear.

Anything rubber-related =/= me considering Elizabeth.

Time to hit the hay.

I'm fixin' to put four new Goodyear Wranglers on my truck this weekend. I was considering Nitto tires but decided I really have no need to spend more than $500 per tire on a truck at my age.

It's hard to go wrong, though, with the Michelin and Cooper tires that other have recommended.

I’ve had good experience with Michelin Defenders


good choice, but uniroyal is made by michelin, and they are on average 25% lower price of the defenders.

most places dont stock them, but any tire place can order them for you
