I am running the AT3’s but the new 4S’s. One of the best tires I’ve run, and they are wearing like iron. I was always a BFG KO guy, but I’ll likely never go back. The rubber compounds in the Cooper tires across their line is very good, and the amount of sipes really makes them handle well in snow and rain. Good luck!

I'm on my 3rd set of ATP (2 different trucks) and will be going back with them when it is time for more tires. They've worked great in dry, wet, snow and mud and like smokewagun said, the wear properties are very good.

I have a set of Cooper A/TW on my RWD Ranger. They do have them in OEM sizes for our trucks, and I almost hate to say it, they're better than my DuraTracs on ice/packed snow, and have done well in 8" deep snow too. If they had them in Raptor tire size. they'd be on my 150.

We have the AT3 (not sure which version) on the 17 explorer we have and they've been awesome! I couldn't believe how much more traction I could feel when they first came on. Just wasn't sure how they would do on the truck. I've always ran Toyo or General. What size are you running?

The 275/65/20 will fit on your factory wheels with a level with no rubbing. You will need at least a 2” level.

I want to go a little larger than OEM. Going to put a level on, just trying to decide (and reading replies) to see if a can go 275/65/20 without rubbing on a level. As most things, I keep hearing different answers on what will rub and what won't. But with how much cheaper these tires are than other brands I could buy two sets and still be up nearly!

275/55/20 (32”). Could be any number of manufacturers, Hankook is the most common AT though in the 20” size. You may also see Goodyear, Michelin or Toyo. All but the Hankooks look like they are more of a highway tire.

I love these tires and Cooper as a brand. I have had several sets of ATPs over the years on a Bronco and multiple F-150s and Rangers. They wear well, ride good for a semi aggressive tire, and the price is about average. Even when there are sales and discounts to be had on other brands, I won't buy anything else. Most importantly to me Cooper is a true made in the USA brand. They will always have my business.

Wow. On the 11-14MY you could run those with no level. 15+ is tighter I guess.
