A quick report on these tires had them now for 7250 miles in 245/7516 and love them. The good Wears well Great on wet roads no hydroplaning or slipping Good sand tire as my goodyears let me down multiple time at the beach these just keep trucking and never have mad me feel not confident On trails with moderate mud they are ok Run well aired down Made In the USA The bad Thick mud ( typical of an all terrain but do to small tread block spacing in the 245/75/16 This problem is more apparent) So all in all great tire if you are not looking to go in the deep thick mud. I would buy these again in a second have no buyers remorse I would change tires If I planned to do a lot of heavy mud. |

Did you get the LT or P rated? I'm spending much more time on pavement now so the tire shop owner talked me into p245/75 AT3's (25,000ish miles now). Great all around traction but they feel really "squishy" to me. |

I have lt rated tires. This is my first SUV comming from sport compacts with large rims wit rubber bands so both the good years and the coopers feel a little squishy |

same here with past cars... I had stock size 235/something LT BFG ATs on for 50,000 miles before the Coopers. Just wondering if there is a remarkable difference between LT & P with the Coopers. I really like the way they look and grip however I think I prefer a stiffer sidewall. With 120,000 miles she should make it to another set of tires. My p245/75/16 AT3s are wearing really well at 25,000, and I have only rotated them twice. If I let the BFGs go more than an oil change without rotating them, they would start to howl. |

I have the same tires. It seems like I get some side roll. Especially on the interstate. But as far as driving on the farm in the mud I have zero issues. I wouldnt take them though a deep clay mud hole. But For what I use them for they rock. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk |

I thought mine were squishy at first too, but after getting them rotated at like 7k and checking air. I think they were just under inflated, the were much more solid after the air up and rotate. Could not see any wear on them at all. I have not done any really messy mud in them, but everything I have done they are flawless. Even had ice the last few days here in Dallas and had no issues. |
