The Coopers are made in the USA which is difficult to find. Oh, and about the comment on the Michelien's dry rotting, I would have never believed it as every knows they are good tires, but I have some 2.5 year old 20's that look horrible! I feel I need to replace them before the tread is even close to being worn out....don't know what that's all about! The vehicle is always parked outside though.

I do a lot of towing, 15k + and lots of dd and hwy driving. I have 50k on my toyo open country m/t's I'm gonna run them about 5k more.
I really like them, They are aggressive but ride really nice, and are fairly quiet. Handle GOOD on wet roads for a mud tire. They are a 10ply load E tire. Im running a 315 75 16.
They are a mud tire so they are not going to be super quiet or ride super smooth. They look great and last a while.
The KEY to keeping a tire in good shape is rotate every 5k and keep your drive components " ball joints, shocks, bushings, wheel bearings etc" in check !
But I'm going to be getting some new shoes here soon. Think I'm going with the Toyo Open Country A/T 2. I want a smoother ride and longer life. They look to have good grip for the slick stuff too. Thats what I'm switching too

Hankook
I run Hankook dynapro at on mine have now for three years and love them. I will never buy another tire again. Great traction and awesome wear. The first set I got 65,000 out of them and this set has 58,000 and still doing great. I run 285 75 16 plow snow and haul medium loads year round. As a contractor I run a crap load of miles and do not want to worry about tires. BTW not one flat or blow out on either set.
