Rotation and correct tire pressure is the key.

The Verde is what’s going on Monday now....and strangely enough from the Ford dealership down the road. No tire shops carried them, but I guess dealerships share a different distributor.

MasterCraft Courser AXT's is what I run on the old farm truck.

Been good to me so far. (3 years since install)

From what I remember they are really the same tires as one of Cooper's more expensive AT Tires, but they are cheaper as Mastercraft is Coooper's "value" brand of tires.

When these wear out I'll buy another set again.

Michelin Defender LTX

Damn good tire; had them on my last truck

I've also had Pirelli Scorpions and they had the best grip of any tire I've ever had; only drawback was when you rotate and balance, the balance has to be perfect; close won't do.

I have Bridgestone Dueler ATs on my '20 AT4 Sierra right now and yes they're pretty new but I don't have any complaints.

I just put a new set on mine. Good price and they came with a 60k mile warranty


Same here. I've put a ton of miles on my Cooper Discoverer AT's and they last much better than the Michelin and Goodyear tires before them.

Awesome. You will love them. Just letting you know that they are now called Scorpion verde all season plus II, which is a new version that came out over the summer. If they are not providing that either ask for a clearance price or demand the latest and greatest.

I had the same thing. They were offered by the dealer. The Infiniti dealership only offered Bridgestone, and at the time the Scorpion was the only other available tire. I had to push and push them to get that tire, which they did. They would not install if I ordered them over the internet.

Firestone install shops carry them depending on location. I found that out later.

I'll never buy another set of Cooper Discoverer AT's. Probably the worst tires I have ever owned. I've replaced three of them in four years because they develop the "whop, whop, whop, whop" bulge in the tire sound.


I was coming to say that this is my go to tire. I have had 5 or 6 sets over the years and they have been, by far, the best tires that I have bought and the price is right on them. I do about 75% road travel and 25% on dirt and they do both but aren't true off-roads.

They aren’t a direct replacement, at least I don’t think. The original factory ones from Sweden were Scorpion P Zero plus I think. Got close to 50k our of them, but the wife is driving to Disney next weekend and I don’t want to send her off like that.

I hope this wheel balances after the direct hit. Surely they’ll find some hair embedded in the bead.



It’s the only unknown left...though the vehicle drives perfectly.
