Cooper AT3s or Kumho KL78s. Decisions, Decisions...

So my Toyo Open Country's are going to need to be replaced soon and I've narrowed it down to the Cooper Discoverer AT3s and the Kumho KL78s. These are going on my 92' 4R, its my DD and Camping Rig. Basically use it offroad to get back to my Fishing/Hunting spots and mild/medium offroading trips.

I've searched for reviews on Both the KL78s and AT3s, from what I can gather the big plus with the Coopers are a 55k mile warranty. But besides the obvious can anyone chime in on either of these tires. OTD pricing for a set of 4 Coopers are $690 & for the Kumho's $682.

Decided to go with the Coopers. From what I've read over the net and with Coopers 55K mile warranty its hard to beat for the price. I'll post up some pics when I get the chance.

Now that you've had the Coopers for a while, what do you think of them?

I've been shopping for new tires for my Tacoma and the Coopers have a $75 rebate right now. For me, that would bring the OTD price down to ~$550.

Absolutely love them. I've put 5K on them since I bought them some months back and they still look like they day they were installed. No road noise as expected and are a great AT tire. They've done well in Sand, Loose Dirt, and what little mud I've been through. If your looking for a Legit All Terrain with great road manners whether its Dry or Wet you can't go wrong with these.
