Cooper AT3 XLT

I just got these in 275/65/20. (Stock is 275/55/20) A friend at work has run several sets of them and always been very happy. It look aggressive enough but is very quiet on the road - almost the same as the OEM Bridgestone Duelers, which were not really an AT tire. The size is also perfect and fills the wheel wells just fine.

 

Ditto: they ride, handle, and wear great.

I think KO2's wear a little better, but the Coopers are the superior ride by a good shot IMO.

 

That is EXACTLY what I planned on getting when my current tires wear thin: looks super IMO.

I just realized I have been on this thread before and commented several times before.

Time for a beer.

When I say "a" beer, I don't mean one.

 

Mine go on next week. 285/75R18s. I will post pics when done.

 

What suspension setup are you running?

 

Bilstein 6112 top setting up front with coach builder shims (if necessary). Icon rear shocks and coachbuilder +3 shackles to help with weight of overlanding setup in rear. We are installing everything Monday.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it!

 

Haha. Me too!

 

Just got these, 285/75r17

 

I went with these as well, and about 2500 miles in, I'm happy. I got out the door for a little over $800, plus there was a rebate for $70.
Between price, mileage, and weight, there's no better all around tire for the money, imo.

Ive only had them off road a couple times, and they manner well so far.

285/75 17

 

Wish they were available in a 285 70R 18. We're doing 6112 up front set to 1.9" setting to level up truck. I dont want to trim or remove flaps as we live on back country roads. Going with new method wheels w a +25 offset so figured 275 70 18's are a safe bet.

 

315/70R17 here. These things ride SMOOOOOOTH. I’ve only had them on for a couple hundred miles, so I can not give feedback on wear yet. I can say that they ride better than the previous all terrains I’ve ran which include Cooper ST Maxx, Nitto Terra Grappler and the older model Bfg KO’s.

 

I love that white wall

 

What suspension are you running?
Any rubbing?

 

5100s on top setting. The front mud guard on the front wheels was rubbing when in reverse, took it off and no problems now.

 

White is one of the only colors I will run white out tires. I didn’t care for the unraised black lettering on the other side.

 

I've got 6112 @1.9" with a shim on the driver's side. Before deciding to go down to 17", I was looking at that size, and spoke with several members that had no rubbing.

 

I have them on my 2017 F250 and they are quiet as can be and wearing very well!

 

My last set on 10ply at2 coppers I put 115000 mile on them. No bull crap

 

Wow.

I'll be happy with 60,000

 

Keep them rotated and it will come

 

Love the truck, love the stance.

I'd like to use profanity for emphasis, but I'm trying to stop.

 

Love it, what suspension are you running. Did you have to trim or remove anything ?

 

5100s all around, top setting at the front. Removed the front mud guards on the front wheels, no rubbing

 

Love this. What’s your suspension set up! I have stock wheels too and want a similar set up but not looking to do much with suspension. Thanks!

 

Just a 2.5” spacer on the front and a 1” block in the rear. All I had to do was remove the small mud flaps in the front and push my inner liner forward about half an inch. No bmc needed.

 

Its almost amazing to me how much different these tires look in different pictures. I've settled on getting 285/75R17's and while I really like the Coopers, I've never thought they looked good in that size for some reason?

I've seen a lot of pics of equin's Tundra with that exact size and the Icon Rebounds I plan to use and thought the Coopers kind of looked like they had too much side wall (I know some of you don't think there is such a thing as too much side wall)...

But then I see dsotm's which is pretty much the identical setup and on his truck I think they look awesome!

Then I see mojojo's and I'm back to they don't look all that great (Sorry mojojo). They look almost too small on his truck?

So weird? I'm sure the pic angle plays into it some but I've seen pics of the KO2's in that size from different angles and they always look awesome? Another part of it is, in some pics, the side lugs on the XLT's look very tame and in others they stand out more?

IDK but I do think from a weight, wet traction, mileage, price perspective... The Coopers are better tires so that's probably what I'm going with.

 

Picture angle plays a big part in that. I use to run 11” wide tires and while they looked great from the side, if you looked at them from the front or back the truck made those sized tires look small due to the width in my opinion. I’m running 12.5” wide tires now and the truck still makes them look small sometimes in my opinion. I wouldn’t run anything less than 12” wide tires but that’s just me.

 

I kind of agree with you on the width thing. I really debated between the 285/75 vs the 295/70. I think the 295/70's look better but I'm trying to be practical and not base everything on looks. The 295's will stick out more (which in turn means more dirt, mud and rocks hitting the side of the truck) and the wider tires are worse on mileage and some driving conditions (like snow)

I'm going for more of an improved stock look as opposed to a serious off-roader look.

 

That width should fit your purpose then perfectly. I don’t think it looks bad at all especially on a truck with no fender flares. Mine has flares so it took a wider tire for me to at least get even with the flares.
