Why won't somebody give me a price on the internet? I can't seem to find how much the Cooper AT3's cost.

 

What's wrong with 50000 miles? Better than the 30k you hope to get with your current tires.For an all terrain that's a great amount of miles.I've had several sets of pro comps with no issues.

 

Guess what! The BFG Rugged Terrain's I have now have a 50K warantee, so what's your point?

 

I guess maybe today I'll go out to Dunn Tire and check about the Cooper AT3's.

 

OKAY! You guys convinced me. 245/70R16 Cooper Discoverer AT3's are $153 each, total "out the door" price on a set of 4 is $649, mounted, balanced, new stems, nitrogen inflation, old rubber disposal fee, free rotation, etc. The salesman even said they are one of the most popular tire for jeeps. There may even be a $70 rebate.

Now let's see if my BFG's will pass inspection the end of July.

Thanks for the help, you guys!

Btw Sean, I wasn't mad. I just was wondering what point you were trying to make.

Basegrinder, railroad tracks? Really? That must beat up your suspension, huh?

 

I recently bought a full set of Cooper Discover AT3"s. They ride nice and have low to moderate road noise. I was able to purchase them through Mills Fleet Farm here in Minnesota for $120 each. $120 for a tire with good traction for all driving types and a 55,000 mile warranty. That's pretty good in my book. Alot of people here swear by them. I did alot of asking around and looking at other brands before settling on the Cooper's. I purchased the 245/75r16 and they fit quite well with not to much rubbing when I turn sharply.

 

That was the intent of my post, to ask other guys what they thought. It seems the consensus is the Cooper is the tire for me. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

 

Little late now since youve already bought the tires, but i just a read an article on fourwheeler.com that reviewed maybe 12 different all-terrains. So anyone else whos lookin for some new ATs id give it a read.

 

I am wondering why you are using Nitrogen though. I dont see the benefit to using nitrogen on a daily use driver that never see's the race track. To me it would be more of a hassle than anything.

Is it just personal preference?????

I once saw a guy driving on a almost totally flat tire on a BMW. I told him about the tire and he said he was aware of the problem but couldn't find a tire shop that had nitrogen. Would have liked to been there when he took it into his dealer to have the tire replaced. Would bet they were laughing there butts off after he left.

 

First of all, I haven't purchased the tires yet. I still have about 15K left on mine now. Also, when Dunn mounted these tires, they inflated with nitrogen. The one big difference with using nitrogen is the pressure stays more consistant over temperature changes. The don't get that "squat" in the cold or run high pressures on the highway. Also, they haven't leaked more than 2 psi in a year and a half. I'm no fool, I topped them off with air.

BTW, you know how women are with presents? My wife bought me a digital tire pressure gauge that reads in tenths of a pound. It's the most cool present she ever bought for my jeep.

 

Well if ya aint bought em yet, id give that article a read.

 

I couldn't find the article but it doesn't matter. I've already made up my mind.
