Time for new tires on the beast.. Was not happy with the BFG AT KO's.
Thinking about a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP's... Anyone have any insight?

I looked at Cooper when it came time to re-shoe my beast earlier this year, and reviews were good, but the green god of greed prevailed in the end, and I bought Chinese Roadlux from Amazon...I remember pricing Michelin at $435 apiece against the Roadlux at $174 including delivery to my door...I can't remember how much the Coopers were, but I know they were at least a hundred more each...Even if they were made by starving slave children in Chinese dungeons, they do have DOT numbers and I've had zero issues with them, they ride smooth, balanced easily and no perceptible wear yet......Ben

Discount Tire is quoting me $188.00 ea with a 55000 mile warranty on the Coopers.
I miss the BFG Rugged Trails. I ran them on every truck I've owned since the 90's. Good long lasting tread. No longer made.

I have had many Coppers, so I guess that says it all.
Currently the 250 is on Coppers and the 350 is on Michelins, both are good.

We tried the discoverers on my wifes f150 and got average tread life. I just replaced my hankooks (excellent but very expensive-35,000 out of them) with dick cepeks (cooper brand) which I got from my ford dealership for $212 ea (f350 w/20's). They have a 50,000 tread warranty which is completeley unrealistic for tthe way I use them. The bridgestones that came on it got 25,000. I have already tried to tear the crap out of them between the rockpiles in Az and the gravel roads here. So far so good.
My ford dealership beats the pants off walmart on tires and they are good dudes.
