I am looking for some tires for my "new" dodge. BFG's wear too fast+expensive+cake to easily/dont clean,nittos are smooth as snat, clean well, arent aggressive enough. but i saw a cooper discover st today and liked it a lot. I need a tire for highway, sand, maybe a little mud. If anyone knows anything about cooper tires let me know. 17 wheel-dont plan on buying 16s

BFG AT's are going to last the longest of any tire. May look into a Dunlop Mud Rover or Rover AT

i had a set of bfg ats and i only got 28k before they got pretty bald-enough to were i was slipping too much. but i used them pretty rough-rooster tails-burnouts etc-guess thats why!!!

i think the bfgs are teh best all around tire, they are a little pricey, it is hard to get everything you want from a tire but from the tests that I have seen the bfgs are the best

I got 45K out of BFG A/T's ii think I rotated them twice.

BDR got like 50K+ out of a set of old school BFG Mud Terrains.

Those coopers are the best mostly road/ some offroad tire IMO. They are the only thing my family uses on our daily driver's and they perform great. We get about 50-60k out of every set and we have had about half a dozen sets on different vehicles. The horizontal tread does well enough in mud and great is sand. They are just the all around best tire I've found. Price is comparable to BFG.

Coopers are good tires. But your BFGoodies should have lasted much longer. I got almost 70 out of the BFGMTs on dodge.

I don't think that ROTM currently has all 4 of those tires on it.

I have Coopers and I love them. I'd got the A/T's, but the changed the AT name to the HT for the new version I believe. Its got a new center strip of rubber now. I've heard alot of people that have both and say that the Coopers outlast the BFG's by quite a bit, but as far as performance I believe BFG AT's win that one. Coopers are very inexpensive, and come with a 50k treadlife warranty. Very good, cause I will eat mine before I get there.
