Cooper tires
needing new tires, used F250 2000 V10 4 X 4
the front are diffrent than the rear, and the good ones are cooper 265/75/r16
thinking about going back with the same. does anyone have any issues with these tires. or is there something to look out for?
not really into the 4x4 thing, used a little off road, mainly to pull my landscaping trailer with 2 ZTR's weight is about 2 tons.
the off road use is for gravel driveways, and pulling up to a broken down lawn mower sometimes.
we live in the country, so there is more off road drving than city, however I'm not talking big time off road.
thanks

Listen here's what's gonna happen.
Two guys will come and tell how great those tires are.
Then two guys will tell you how crappy they are.
The one guy is gonna tell you that you should only use the brand he uses.
One guy is gonna ask about your broken lawnmower.
And another is gonna ask you what your mileage is when you're towing.
Bottom line: Save your dough. Go buy two more tires just like the good ones you have now. Put them on the back and enjoy the $$ you saved not having to buy 4 at a time.

6 out of the 8 Cooper made tires I've had/have on my SD within the last year had sidewall cracking issues. Never buying anything cooper again.

And I of course have had two sets and they run good. So best advice is go the lest expensive route and by two tires to match your good ones and be done with it.

That's what I did... when I purchased my 2005 F350 from the dealership, the truck had the original Conti-Craps on the front and new Michelin LTX A/T2's on the rear. I took the truck to my local tire shop and replaced the front tires with two new Michelin LTX A/T2's. It wasn't necessarily the tires that I wanted but I couldn't justify not using the good rear tires.

I just bought a set of Cooper ST's for my F-250. I had a set on my last truck and they lasted longer than any other tire I've ever owned, including the BFG AT-KO's that I just replaced. My only complaint about the ST's is that they are noisy compared to other all-terrains that I have used. On and off road traction is very good.

Cooper's economy line is called MasterCraft. I just replaced the 4 the dealer put on the truck as part of my 'I'll buy it if" deal. I put 50K miles on them...very little 4x4 work on them...mostly dry road. I was very happy with them but Sam's didn't carry them.
I've replaced them with Michelins...and I really kinda miss those MasterCrafts. Even worn down, they felt firm and comfortable in the corners. The Michelins seem really soft.
