    I grew up in Wisconsin, and live in the mountains of Colorado now, but surprisingly the deepest one-day snowfall that I've ever experienced was in SoCal. About 25 inches of snow fell in 24 hours when I was working in Big Bear, CA in 2010/2011.

    Slightly more on topic, I have 265/75/16 Dura Tracs, and I'm really happy with them, except for the road noise. I'll probably try something else when it's time for new tires, and Coopers and Wildpeaks are pretty high on my list. Seems like it might come down to price/look/personal preference more than performance when comparing these two.

    I did the same back and forth and ended up ordering Coopers 4s in 265/75r16. My new wheels arrived with 1 damaged so I won’t get the replacement until next week. Then I can install and give some feedback.

    Girlfriend and friends told me to go for the Wildpeaks for the looks, but I am (Trying) to think with my head not my heart. Heart says Falkens, and my head says Coopers. Tough man...

    You probably already know this, but the Coopers come in three different versions now:

    Have the Coopers on my 2018. They sing a bit at speed but I expected that. They are a good tire off road. Most of my driving however is around the Houston are where we have vast amounts of untamed cement freeway and speeds 70-80 mph going the 45 miles to work. The cement roads have really worn my Coopers more than I had expected. The rubber is soft (good grip) but after only 16,000 miles I have taken them off and put my street tires back on. When camping/hunting season roles around I will put them back on. I will try another brand when it comes time to replace this set.

    Serious question, why do you think they are cheap tire? Curious as I have run them on 3 of my trucks, the oldest got just under 54K miles out of them. Is it because they are inexpensive? Or have you had some first hand experience with issues? I was looking at BFG KO's but, my god BFG loves their tires.

    OP, I have been eyeballing these for my next set, but they don't have them in my size.

    They do have them in your size though...

    If you did research then you should know that coopers 2 lbs lighter than faulken in SL sizes, coopers are softer, your mpg will tank by 2 to 4 mpg on both(info from my previous research here and I do see ~1.5 loss on my faulkens).
    Your criteria is calling for coopers. However, faulkens are cheaper, harder and can keep up with ko2 offroad. I passed on coopers

    I've used Coopers for a long time with good results. But Cooper has changed their marketing strategy. They used to only sell to independent dealers and offered $70-$80 rebates several times/year. At those prices plus the rebate it was hard for me to justify anything else.

    But they will no longer sell to independents and the big shops have priced them too high. I haven't seen a rebate in a while either.

    I was leaning toward Falken when my F150 needed tires, but found these and like them better. Off road they are a more aggressive tire than Cooper AT/3, Falken or BFG KO2.

    https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...dewall=Blackwall&partnum=675TR6SATP&tab=Sizes

    They were about the same price as Falken in my Fords size, 275/70/18.

    Anyone have much experience with the P-rated AT34S offroad? I love my AT3LT's but am debating swapping to the 4S for a little nicer ride and longer life. Just concerned about how they might hold up to Colorado's sharp, rocky trails
