So I am going to buy some new tires 315 70 17 I have it narrowed down to 2 picks both are all terrain, I would like to hear your opinions.
Cooper discoverer ATP or Khumo pathfinder
both weigh 64 lbs both have 3 ply side walls and e rated I know thats a thick tire wall with out too much flex. but most of driving is desert and so cal mountains very little mud

so what do you think? an Why?

 

I'm a big fan of the Coopers. I have had the ATPs in 33 on my jeep for 2 years and couldn't be happier. Coopers silica compound is awesome. Sticky on wet and have worn well. I have 23 k on this set and still have 10/32 tread (they were 16/32 new). The ATP tread really is almost a hybrid AT/MT tread and hooks up well off road. They haven't been noisy. They are predictable in the snow. Again the silica compound is predictable in wet and snow. They flex well when aired down. Double check on the the ply rating. I think the ATPs are 2 ply and the STT and ST Maxx are 3 ply. They have durable and did take a good 2k to break in. Cooper makes Mickey Thompsons and Dick Cepeks. If you look at the treads and sidewall builds, you will see the similarities. So you're basically getting a $400 flashy-brand tire for $250 in 35.

 

Also a big fan of coopers. Currently running 285 cooper discoverer ST. Great hybrid tire with decent road manners.

 

My vote is for the Coopers, they will be my next choice, as I like the style and have always had great luck with Coopers
