I ran the H/Ts with my 20s in the spring summers. Never had any issues and the wear was very good. I'm looking for some coopers to replace my stock bfgs for the winters, but not sure how the s/t will wear..

I've had excellent service from several sets of Coopers... with the ProComp name on them (Cooper makes 99 percent of ProComps). Got over 40K out of a set of ProComp 305/70R16 ATs and sold them with 35 percent tread still on them. Had a set of MTs too and sold that truck with them on it after 10K with 80 percent tread left. Am currently running a set of Mickey Thompson MTZs (also Coopers) and they may be the best tires I've ever had on the truck. Only about 15K so far, but they are wearing very well so far and fantastic in the winter. I admit to being **** about rotation and pressure. I always buy five and rotate the spare in and out regularly. I'm so **** that I'll probably get 80-90K out of the factory Michelins on our Honda (65K so far)!

I ran them on both my red 04 and my 06. They are great tires for everything but ice and if you stud them they are good for ice. No wonky wear patterns. Reasonable when it comes to noise. Only real down side is the initial cost.

I have a set of Pro Comp all terrains on order for my beige 04. My current driving does not require the service that the Discoverer ST gives and finances are an issue, the Pro Comps are made by Cooper.

Check out the Dean line of tires which are also made by Cooper.

Check out my gallery for more info and get back to me if you have specific concerns.

Never ran a set long enough to wear them out due to running leased trucks. They come with very deep tread, wear evenly and appear that they will go at least 60k miles.

My Rouch came with Cooper HTs. I will never again run with them. The Yokohomas Parada's I have corner better, ride better, grip better and best of all... aren't rated for low speeds like the Coopers are. All 4 Coopers had stress cracks on the inner sidewall. They were rotated every 5,000 miles.

I suppose as a cheaper tire they are okay, but they aren't high quality, IMHO.
