    Lightweight, Quiet, Road-centric All-Terrain Tires

    After 45k the Coopers are still just as quite as when I first put them on. I'm running them at 35 psi, with even wear at 15/64" tread left to wear bar.

    Lightweight, Quiet, Road-centric All-Terrain Tires

    Another one for the Cooper AT3 xlt's. I'm running the 37", 6 tire rotation with 45K on them. I'm in Wisconsin and my truck is my dd, don't matter the weather the Coopers handle it all.

    Tire rotation questions

    Gen 1, 6 tire rotation, have all tires marked. Back cross to front, front left to spare, front right to storage. Previous spare to left rear, previous storage to right rear. Every 7500 @ oil change.
