Hello,
I realize that 'personal' preference is much in the decision of which tire to buy. Also 'past' experience with a certain brand will influence choice also. But I will ask the question anyway.
I have a 2017 Limited. 275x55x20 . It comes with Hankook Dynapro HT. I have 52K+ miles on them and my opinion of them is that they "Are OK, but......." When new they rode kind of nice and were kinda quiet. But now they are not nice riding and are not quiet......but then they are wearing out so what do I expect...........
A while back I had put Cooper Evolution H/T on my 2010 Ford Ranger 4x4 extended cab; fairly decent size truck even tho 'mid-size' classification. The Cooper's were extremely quiet and the ride was really quite nice for a 'Mid-Size P/U'. Sooooo, I am kinda leaning towards the Coopers. The load range and speed rating is higher than what is needed so the tire is applicable to my 2017 vehicle.
Admittedly I have had good experience with Michelin's. But, they will cost me about $200+ more than what the Cooper's will cost. Plus if one is to believe the 'reviews' on places like TireRack and TireBuyer the Cooper's actually came out ahead in the 'Ride' and 'Quiet' categories.
My TOP PRIORITY is Ride and Quiet. Mileage expected is arbitrary. I've never had a tire last 80K miles (Michelin has that for their Defender LTX)
Looking for opinions from folks who drive mostly highway miles. I travel a lot each year, for me anyway. Around 15K and more each year. Snow is not a concern.
