Looking for new tires for my 2014 limited expedition. Have good year wrangler Kevlar at the moment but wasn't impressed overall and now they are ready to replace and after a rough drive home in the snow yesterday I'm ready. My head is spinning already after doing some research. I'd like the cooper at3 but the price is crazy. I found these through walmart...at 124 per tire. Cooper discoverer at. Thoughts? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cooper-Discoverer-A-T-All-Season-275-55R20-117T-Tire/970231905
I would grab n go and then have my local shop mount, balance and align. Any other tires worthy for CT weather in that price range?

Check www.nexttire.com for pricing & tire models. Free shipping and 0 tax for my state. Out of Las Vegas, Nv I think. Got delivered in 2 days to me, but bad weather had not arrived yet.

I notice the cooper discoverer at I posted above has a speed rating T....ford recommended speed rating of H. Stupid question....should this be a deal breaker or is this not a big deal?

Cooper adventure h/t $572 installed at pep boys might be an option...would like something a little more aggressive for snow though

Probably not a big deal if your main priority is to save money. But H-rated tires will generally be better constructed (more durable, better handling) than T-rated tires. Personally, I wouldn't put T-rated tires on a 6000 lb SUV. But cost isn't necessarily my first priority.

I have the coopers, I’m really happy with them. Other than they oddly seem to always pick up stones, the truck handles really well. Last winter was mild but this year it’s been snowing every 2-3 days and they feel real solid. I got them at Pep boys during a buy 3 get 1 free sale. Tires installed, balanced etc $1001.
