Those are nice. I've always gotten great service out of anything from Cooper/MasterCraft.

Check the Starfire brand out though Walmart. They're also a cooper brand. That's what I've got on my 2019 classic in 265/70-17.

I knew about Master Craft being made by Cooper but did not know about the Star Fire line Thanks
I have Cooper Snows on my car and love them

Just bought a set last week for my '10 Ram. They ride smooth and no noise. Love them. I put a set of Coopers on the wifes '05 Ram. Don't remember the name, street tires, they're very good also.

My experience was a loss of 1.5 mpg, running 40psi cold tire pressure.
I heard that before from someone that MPG dropped a little. Some no difference ! Like you I run my tires 40/42 PSI

THANKS Everyone for your replies

I just put Pirelli Scorpions AS III on mine and freak'n love em.
Been running Nitto's for years and liked em, but no comparison with the Pirelli's, obviously.
Notice how the tire protrudes at the lip of the rim about 1/2"~ giving the sides a very squared off appearance.

UPDATE if anyone cares lol UPDATE

Just had the COOPER AT3 4S 265/70/17 tires put on Monday !
So far I am impressed.
Handles very well and quiet
Had the White lettering exposed and looks sharp.
First time doing that lol always had black wall tires !
Price was good IMP 180$ a tire,70$ REBATE for buying 4 , so will see if Cooper send me the Rebate lol
sold my old Goodyear AT/S tires well worn but still good for summer weather for 60$ So 130$ less for my Coopers

Update #2 Tires great in the rain, Looks like I lost about 1 MPG but will see what happens after a few eeks

UPDATE #4

About 3k+ on the Coopers.

Tires wearing well

I run 40 PSI all 4 per the door sticker

Pretty good in the rain and wet roads !

So far not much snow but on the slushy crappy roads pretty good so far.
They do not break traction on tack off like my Good Years did lol

Mpg did not change much as these are about 41 lbs like the Good Years !
My mpg is down right not but that is due ti Winter Gas so it always drops in the winter !

FYI. 40 psi may be a good pressure. The door sticker is for the OEM tires though. Check the tire sidewall for tire pressure specs.

I know the Max. side wall pressure can be used but will stiffen the ride . So far the wear at 40/42 PSI is good ! Ride not bad at all.. I may try 44psi and see how that does for the ride and wear! I have compressor at the house and 12 v one as well so refilling not a issue lol.. How do you like the ride when you maxed the PSI ? I am curious Thanks

I liked the AT3 but around 30,000 the volume increased substantially. Like all AT tires but not sure they were the best value. That said, I’d take em again.

I have not run max psi. I run about 42 front and 40 rear unless hauling my 8500 lb TT/toy hauler then bump rear to 50. Its a truck and rides pretty good for a truck.

I do not have a TT but will be hauling a Bass Boat ! When I do 40/42 PSI should be fine. Now if I get a TT I will have to get a 2500 to go with it lol
