i had a set of ATR's and I was very happy with them. I spent a whole day wheeling down at Livingston with them and at the time they had about 35K on them. Had plenty of traction, just not enough ground clearance

| Post subject: | Mastercraft or Cooper |
I know they are the same company, but i was wondering if anyone has some input on these tires i am looking at. I am looking for a decent AT tire that wont cost me a arm and a leg. I looked at the Mastercraft Courser A/T 2 tires. and i do like the tread pattern. at a local town fair,they sell for $149 a tire. i've also looket at Coopers ATR's. That tread design is a lilttle different and the sell for $138 a tire. I guess my question is, has anyone heard any reviews about these tires? or does anyone have them? any input would def. be helpful. my stock SR-A's sidewall is strarting to peel off so i think its time for me to get some new shoes for the liberty. thanks again [/img][/url] |

I run a set of Sport King A/T's. Made as a private label by BFG, and is the old version of their T/A KO. In 265/75r16 they set me back 108 each, and have performed well (it is an A/T) everywhere I've wheeled. |

I initially ran the Cooper AT (very close to the ATR). Good solid AT tire, the only reason I got rid of them is because they seemed to wear out really quick. Now I have the General Grabber AT2, which is fantastic. Price is good. I'd say if you're looking at the Cooper, look into the Grabber as well (especially if you want a more aggressive look!) |

the ATR's replaced the A/T's. i had a set of Cooper A/T's on my Bronco, Ramcharger and GC...I thought they were just as good if not better than the ATR's....and more aggressive looking. I easily got 40k out of all my Coopers. |

I bought them since I knew I was going to be doing a ton of driving every weekend ( 550/600 miles) but wanted something a little more open than say a set of Destination ATs but not a full on mud tire, next is a set of their mud tires though

take a look at the Fuzion XTi while at Tirerack. I have about 15k on mine with no noticable wear. great on my DD rain and light snow is all I have had a chance to test them in but they hold great. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... eModel=XTi the 245/70/16 is the same size as my 245/65/17's and fit great under a stock vehicle.
