Cooper Discoverer M+S Winter Tire - LT285/75R16 LRE 10PLY

I put these on a truck that runs in rock and sand on the ranch and at the mines. These tires do well in mud, sand, rocks, and snow. I rarely have to use 4WD. Not much tall rubber sway like some. These are my new favorites. Very tough. Heavier (10 Ply) handle best.

I live in Northern New-Brunswick where we have some of the harshest winters. My All-Terrains (Goodyear Wrangler Duractracs) were getting a little worn out so I decided to get myself some Cooper M+S tires for Winter only. I got them in a 275/65R20, which is slightly bigger than the OEM size of 275/60R20. I got them studded and installed on the stock Ram wheels. The extra height is nice and they look great on my truck. These tires are technically designed for 3/4 ton trucks so they're slightly overkill for my truck but I love them cause they look good, give me extra clearance and they handle really well (probably cause they are a little stiffer to handle more weight). So far I'm really satisfied, they're well balanced and not noisy at all (quieter than my duratracs). I'm hoping to be able to run them for 4 or 5 years during winter only and swap back to All-Terrains for summer. If I can get at least 4 years out of them I'll be happy with the extra I paid for the 34" tires. The highway this morning was covered with packed snow and the wind is gusting 60-100 km/h. I usually white knuckle my way to work hoping the wind doesn't push my truck in the opposing lane. Not with my new Cooper M+S tires, I've never felt so confident at the wheel during/after a winter storm. I'm a new fan of Cooper Tires, I'll be replacing my Duractracs with the new AT3 XLT next summer.
