Looking for new tires, I am looking at cooper discover a/t. I think I got a good price for them. Around $140 a piece and that includes lifetime balance and rotations for free and road hazard. Does anyone have any recommendations on these tires or any other tire they would recommend and how much you have paid for tires?

Those tires wear well, but a comparable, but more aggressive tread design is the

 

Mastercraft A/T. They look good and have a 50,000 treadwear rating

 

I paid 350 for 4 installed and have ran for 15,000 miles and are wearing very well.

I am surprised a tire so cheap can perfrom so well, especially with my driving habits.

 

The tire size I have is 265/75/R16 and are a six ply tire (D rating?)

 

They usually run about 500-550 a set, but I know of a tire shop in Indiana that sells them cheap than anywhere.

 

Look into them on there website matercrafttires.com

I went with Michelin LTX MS 265X75X16 a couple of weeks ago, they are also 6 ply but come in 10 ply too. I really like the and the look they gave my 2003 5.3 Sierra 4X4 xcab. I paid $650 for 4 at discount tire. the tread is not very aggressive but does GREAT in the Vancouver B.C. rain and give a very nice ride. With rotation, these things go forever...

 

I buddy at work put Yokohamas on at the same time, same size. The tread is very aggressive and give his AV a mean look. Good luck, the tire makes or breaks the look of the truck.... :thumbs:

I just put Revos on my truck and really like them. They're quiet, have a MUCH smoother ride than stock, have really nice grip for their tread....

 

Go to tirerack.com. They have a great selection with all the stats. You can narrow down your search then do a comparision. The Revos rated at least 9.5's across the board :thumbs: .

I have had 2 sets of Cooper Discoverer A/Ts and they have been pretty good tires. I paid $99 each for mine and that includes mountind and lifetime balance! They are a good tire for that price, wont last as long as some Michelins or some others but when you think about it, they will actually because you can buy 2 sets of them for the same price you can 1 set of another brand. I am not bashings those pricey tires, I am sure they are good tires also, but I am the kinda person that likes gettin new tires LOL! I gave my last set of Cooper Discoverer A/Ts at 20,000 miles away because I took some new ones off of a truck we were selling. At 20,000 miles they probably had another 15000-20000 left in them. I am currently looking for some different tires now too, going to take the Coopers off my steel wheels I am running now and put them on my aluminum wheels for summer. Was wanting to get Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs for my steel wheels but they are on national backorder (the goodyear dealer said that would probably be a while)! So now I am considering the Firestone Destination MT, The ratings on tirerack.com show that those are a little better overall than the MTRs and BFG MTs!

Cooper is making good tires!!! Mastercraft is made by Cooper and is very similar if not the same. I believe the model is "Courser". I've run Coopers before and thought they were very good for the $$$.

 

Right now I'm running 10-ply Michelin LTX M/S on my HD and I'm very happy with them! :thumbs:

Hey SilveradoWV, how come you can get your tires so cheap? I havent shopped around for tires yet. Just had the place give me a price where I get my oil changed. I didnt think $140 was a bad price which includes rotation and balance, but your price sounds even better.

There is a small chain of tire shops here ( I think its just here in southern WV) called "C. Adam Toney Tires", there only like 3 stores. Their prices are really good on any tire, they stock alot of cheaper off brand tires and a few good brands but they can order anything and its always cheaper than anyone else around, especially when mounting and lifetime balance is free. The first set of Cooper Discoverers I got were 265/75/16s Load Range D, at that time they were out of Load Range C's so they asked if D's would be ok for the same price so I said yeah and got Load Range D's for $99 a tire. The second set they had Load Range C in a 265/75/16s and the regular price was $99 a tire. When I had my '95 K1500 it had an alignment problem which wore out the front tires really fast, and they were Firestone Steeltex ATs and the dealer also ordered them from C Adam Toney! Alot of people here buy their tires there because they are so cheap and that is probably why they are so cheap, they sell alot of tires!

I've had a lot of good luck with Cooper tires, I just went to Cooper SRM II tires on my 00 3500. Ok tire stores has a tire contract with Cox cable on their bucket trucks to run the SRM II, because they last 55,000 miles under heavy load. So hopefully I'll see some good mileage out of them.

 

Michelins are probably a little better than the Coopers, but a lot more expen$ive.

I've just switched from LTX to Coppers on my '98 K1500. My Michelins performed excellent but due to their pricing (here in Ontario approx $200 / tire with taxes) I decided to give Cooper a try, very pleased over the 5000 miles I've had em so far. Great dry / wet / snow covered road manners, a little noisier that the LTX but far better in the snow.

IMHO they are in the same league as the LTX performance wise but they cost me approx 1/2 the price of Michelins at $106.oo each including taxes.

Heck of a bargain for a premium tire.......... :devil:

I also got Cooper AT stock size LT24575R16. Cost me $416.00 out the door. I am totally satisfied. Great price, great traction in any weather, very low noise for an all terrain tire. Guys at work have bought them after seeing mine. I mounted them blackwall out, look super! :devil:

I had a set of Goodyear AT's on mine. I hardly ever rotated them & got 70,000 miles out of them, Got about the same from m them on my 91 Jeep wrangler. I think I paid about $550 a set.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
