Cooper AT3 or Firestone AT's?

[papapoopski]

First off this forum rocks. I have been very edumacated since reading and joining.

Picked up an 02 SR5 w 138k about a month ago. I have three different tires on it right now and I'm ready to pull the trigger on new rubber like ASAP. I'm 70% road, 30% fun (I mean off road). I don't commute far.

I had the destination at's on a previous vehicle and had a great experience w em. I was ready to buy but just got offered a deal on the Cooper AT3's that have made me think twice. I can get them both for about the same price out the door w alignment.

Which would you choose? (and why if you feel like typing)

Thanks

I have no experience with either, but I would go with the Coopers. I like the tread design and I've talked to people who say they are quiet and perform very well. Also I'm not a huge fan of the Firestones looks (too plain). The Firestones though were one of the highest rated AT tires on TireRack.com, so you can't go wrong with either.
