Since this is a generic section, obviously tire wear will be affected by vehicle weight.

I had a set of Cooper ATP, which are the same as the AT3, and got about 25k miles out of them under my 2500 which weighs a tad more than a 1500. They had some tread left, but were worn through the siping and into the harder tread compound which made them slippery on wet roads and completely useless on winter roads.

I think the p-series Coopers have a 50k mile warranty though?

ATP's are rated to 55k, I believe. My E rated ones were anyway. They still had sipes nearing 60k.

Vehicle weight and use affects a lot. I was happy to go to the ATW's for a life of 45k and more snow/wet traction. Having a pattern similar to the AT3's I knew they would handle dirt well too.

I got over 50k miles, when I traded my old Sierra in, on my P rated cooper discoverer at3s. Central Texas winters and lots of rain. They did well in the rain can’t speak on snow or to much ice.

When winter actually gets here, I'll order a set of the ATW. Even if I replace them yearly, still cheaper than a deductible claim and/or headaches from an accident.

Congrats on the choice. I am happy with mine after 21,000 miles.

What size did you get? I found a set of the very same tire on TireBuyer.com for $643.96 shipped and installed locally. You must have got a bigger size I assume?

Ahh, I see. The 20"s are probably more than the 18"s, too.

I havent even got them on yet. They are at the tire shop. My appointment is tomorrow. Took a week to order them and a week for them to find a spot to squeeze me in.

I was debating between the toyo open country at ii extreme and the bfg ko2,  and went with toyo bc I read a lot of people having issues balancing the bfg. Anyone know of that issue?

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
