Hey guys its time for some new tires and these are the two that i have narrowed it down to. I have heard great things about both but i'm lookin for info mostly on tread life and what you liked/disliked about either tire. Thanks again

 

I don't have any personall experience with the Hankook's - though they do look like a good tread desgin, and overall a good tire.

The Cooper's are impressive, and I have a few customers who love them. Not loud on the street, and the tread desgin was well thought out. For the price I might look at some other tires first though...

HTH

 

I had a set of the coopers on a '02 Grand Cherokee and they were a tough little tire, too bad I didn't have that ride very long to see where they really shined though.

 

I haven't tried the RT03s yet but I have a set of RT01s that I absolutely love. ~60,000 km so far at about 40% left. They are quiet on the street and great off road as well. The only downside is that they don't make them larger then a 33. Nice to see that the RT03 come in a 35. If the compound is the same I think that you will be happy with the RT03s.

I think that either tire would be a good good choice for a DD/weekend warrior pick.

 

i go rt03s on my 88 4runner and they are great. not very noisy on highways and great on wet pavement, mud, dirt, and gravel. and they look good too

 

I've had alot of good luck with Cooper tires in general. I don't have any experience with that particular tire but I think Coopers are top notch.

 

I have the coopers stt on my 86 4runner and love them. I would not have any other tires and I run a tire shop. And they are american made , cant hurt in this economy.
