Tire Rack.com has great reviews on almost every decent tire out there--I always find it very useful when I buy new rubber I always check the reviews on whatever my local guy is pushing--I have found them very informative and have been liking my tires better since started using that.

Have had great luck with Cooper tires over the years. Love them on my truck. Best thing since chains on ice and snow. Local G Goodyear store even sells Cooper over GY.

I tried Cooper once; and they lacked in the traction department. Switched to Firestone Indy Firehawks and they are fine. Your nearest Firestone dealer should be able to get them for you. As a side story; I bought the Firehawks while on a trip to the U.S. in 2005. You should have seen the looks on some passengers at the air terminals when I rolled them in for check in. I overheard one of them saying: "Look at that idiot, he´s bringing tires with him on the flight."

I really like my Toyo tires balanced easy especially for a big tire and made in the US. Treaddepot is an excellent company, they not only matched but beat the cheapest price I could find and very fast shipping also.

I have like 30 vehicles, and I have lets just say one of everything for tires, and some vehicles have had a few sets of tires on them. I am a cooper tire fan. I hate the firestones I have on two trucks, I hate the Good Years on my 95.
I have a set of mastercraft tires on my diesel dude, When I first put the cummins in it I had fuzions on the front and Cooper zion something or the others on it, Those fuzions wore right out in no time. I ended up with the master crafts and I am very happy with them, I hear they are made by cooper. The next set will be Coopers again. I had toyos on a truck i sold, they were horrible, and yokahamas I really didnt like either on another truck I had. I have a truck with super swampers boggers on it, and they are an animal all their own. I think I have tried every brand of tire, and I always seem to go back to a cooper variant.

I have ran Coopers on my cars. The set of 14's that were on my GTX went bad one at a time. Over a couple of years, 3 of them broke belts. I just put some 15's on last year. We will see how they hold up.
