They look like a decent on road snow tire, price isnt bad. Not really much of an all terrain, dont know why they call it an A/T. What do you plan on using the truck for.

I was thinking about getting the Bridgestone RHS A/T tires, now i found a sale buy 3 get fourth free on Cooper tires. I am now thinking about getting the Discoverer A/T3 Premium ALL-TERRAIN, anyone have any suggestions between the two?? any help would be great. . . . .

The coopers looke like a great light duty all terrain tire. Look like they would have long road life. I come from a long back ground of offroading, sand mud n rocks. Thats why I asked what you plan on doing with them. But the coopers look like a good tire.

this is for my everyday/hunting Dodg Ram, we usually get tons of snow here, and i get out a lot in the winter, bow hunting and coyote hunting, so just looking for the A/T tire that will help out most, not cost a fortune, and wont wear out fast. . . .thanks for any advice

Go to TireRack.com and you can read customer reviews on tires...I run BF Goodrich T/A All Terrain KO's...one of the top rated all terrain tires out there. Before the KO's I had the BFG Rugged Trail T/A,s and they were a pretty nice all around tire, with better gas mileage than the K/O's for less money. I went to the K/O's because of the nature of the roads I was driving on to get to my hunting area. I have had BFG T/A's since 1974 on many of my vehicles. I had T/A All Terrains on my 1979 Mazda B2000 pick-up, 1984 Ford Bronco II 4WD and now on my 2007 F-150 4WD and have never had them fail; they are without a doubt great tires.

Some customer reviews you have to take with a grain of salt...like people buying an aggressive tread tire and then complaining of road noise. Or people buying an aggressive tread tire and complaining of rough ride when most of their driving is in the city or on the freeway.

I was going to mention the BFG's they r really good tires. Long tread life. Goodyear wrangler Dura tracks are good tires too, my buddy runs them on all his plow trucks
