Just purchased a set of Cooper ATPs

[gmv4k]

Sorry it took so long for the update. I had a bit of a delay when I broke a bolt in my LBJ. At the moment I've only replace the drive side LBJ. I guess the rest will have to wait till the summer. The weather was starting to get bad so I really wanted to get my new tires on.

Today is day 2 at 147, 146 miles with the new tire - Cooper ATP (265/75/16) P.

- $60 to install and balance.

- Right off the bat there was slightly more road noise then before with Runway Enduro's (these looked like highway tires 265/70/16's). After a few minutes I didn't notice anymore. No problems with rubbing. I did not notice the height difference.

I was worried about them not being able to balance the tires like a bunch of horror stories I've read, but so far at 60mph no issues. I guess you just need to find a good shop.

I didn't have much experience with the Enduro's in the snow, but so far the ATP's have been doing fine in the snow. In 2wd I'd have to really force it to break traction, in 4wd I couldn't get it to break traction under normal driving in the snow. We're supposed to get 8-12 inches here today, so I'll get more time in the snow today.

I'll update later when I get more data about mpg.

I've had these on my 4R since Nov. of 2012 (shortly after they came out). I've been very impressed, especially considering the price. I had discount install them (something I'll never do again at that particular location).

7 month update.

Driven about 8k miles. Tires still look great. Drives pretty well, still balanced and smooth even at 85 mph. Slightly noisier from the beginning, no change there. Did fine in snow and dirt.

For the price I love these tires. I should probably get highway tires next time, bc I never get a chance to go off-road. I think I lost 1 mpg, but they are knobby and bigger than stock. I'm running 265-75-16's P rated.

If I were on a budget I'd get them again in a heartbeat..... But now I want duratracks

I see your 7 month update and raise you...
I'm over 20k miles on these tires. Still great. Had them balanced and rotated the other day.

Would definitely buy again.

Still wonderful tires. Wear is great and they are just now starting to make highway noise...
