Basically a Cooper Discoverer with a different name on the sidewall. I personally like Cooper tires, have had excellent luck with them over the years. I was going to put Cooper's on my Tundra, but the ones I wanted were on backorder, so I went with General Grabber's. Had them about a year now and very happy.

Re: looking for tire info
Cooper tires are the worst tires I have ever owned

Re: looking for tire info
They sell a lot of those locally, not too bad for the money I guess. I ran Coopers on our Tacoma a few years ago. Again, not bad for the price but lousy in snow, and they had a rather short tread life. YMMV but I don't think I'll buy Coopers again.

Re: looking for tire info

i dont have any expieriance with cooper truck tires but i did have a set on the camaro and it slid all over the place in the wet but they seem too last awhile. i saw the general tires but once again dont know anybody who ever ran them

Re: looking for tire info
With tires, for the most part if the price is cheap, the tire is cheap.
I swear by Michelins. They might cost more, but they wear like hockey pucks, and they have a nice ride.

I like Michelins LTX the best out of anything I have ever owned, but the cost is a killer. $$/mile they are probably the best, but the initial hit hurts. I've never run the Cooper All terrains, which is what the Mastercraft's seem to be. I have Cooper all seasons on my wife's SUV and they have been great for the year we have owned them. Wearing very well, nice ride, good traction, no issues. I have Cooper Cobra's on my Chevy. The look cool, ride nice, but suck severely in rain. I used to run Cooper all season on all of my car's before I started buying trucks, and they were a good cost/performance compromise. Other truck tires----I've run BFG Rugged trails a few times---hated them. Complete garbage, but they came new on 2 trucks I've bought. Goodyear Wrangler All terrains----decent traction but seemed to wear really fast.

Re: looking for tire info
thanks for the info guys i'm still undecided.
i had the bfg mud terrains on my 91 s10 and they HUMMED LOUDY and wore quickly but what did i expect driving on paved roads all the time i didnt hear too many who did like the rugged trail or the long trails. i gotta look again at the grabbers
