    Most websites will tell you anything other than the stock size (in their database) won't fit. It's a liability thing.

    Trying to decide between Cooper Discoverer A/T3 or Michelin LTX MS2 - any opinions on which performs better overall and specifically in winter?

    Good choice. It's not the stock size but will fit.

    Going to be a little wider and about an inch taller (which translates to .5" lift for your truck of course)

    Both are great tires but Coopers will be better in deep snow because it has an open tread pattern that will throw snow.

    If you want a great winter all terrain get the Cooper ATW instead of the AT3. I have them and use them in winter. I use Michelin MS2 in summer.

    I just don't get it. I went more places with deeper snow and and shittier weather with the horrid stock dunlops, I have cooper at3 now and this is my second winter and so regret them. As soon as there is snow on the ground the traction is garbage.
