I have had three sets of Cooper tires on three different vehicles, I will never buy another set. I have had Discoverer HT's, Lifeliner Classics and the cheaper Trendsetter. From severe cracking and ply sepparations, I never had a set that rode smoothly or didn't pull.

Another good winter rated all-season tire is the Vredestein Quatrac 5; I just put a set on the Clubman and so far I've been very impressed.

I went from CS5s to BFG Comp 2s and got more traction, stiffer road feel. CS5 is where it's at for a highway cruiser

I purchased Cooper Discoverer tires LT265 / 70 R17 ATW for my 3/4 ton Chev as a compromise instead of buying dedicated winter tires and rims. I have 36,000 mostly highway miles on them and I’m thinking this will be the last winter since the thread is worn. However, I might get a couple more summers on them. They performed quite well on snow and ice considering they are a year round tire. (They do have the snowflake emblem which makes them legal as a winter tire in British Columbia. )
These are a good choice for a year round tire. No summer time issues. Noise wasn’t bad. I’m probably going to look for snow tires as I moved to an area where snow plowing is sketchy.
