Recommended Cooper to a coworker a few years back and it’s all he buys now on 3 vehicles …
I changed the Tahoe fake spare to a nice SRX and plan to get a set of them soon …
Do Range Rovers come with Mastercraft Tires?

Since they can be sold new only once, but used any number of times, yes, more buy them used than they do new.But lots of people buy them used, right?
Good job for not understanding wit. The wink face
was me being funny...I have Cooper Evolution Tours on my Equinox. No major complaints, but would probably move up to the Discoverer line in the future. The Evolution Tours ride nice and are very quiet, but there is no way they will go 65,000 miles as indicated by Cooper. I have just about 17,000 miles on them, and they are already down to 6/32 on all four despite rotating them every 5,000-7,000 miles.
Next time I get tires I want to try one of the new "severe weather rated" tires. Considering either the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax or Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail.

Land Rover uses a mix of Conti, German Goodyear or Pirelli. I haven’t seen Michelin as OEM but I’ve seen Chinese, Korean or Toyo used as replacement on Range Rovers.
Unfortunately I’ve seen a $25K Prius used as an Uber with Primewells on it and my cousin has Chinese tires in her $45K Odyssey.
but, when a European car passes to its third owner, its last stop is usually the junkyard or the inpound lot on its way there.
Primewell is made by Giti...Giti is OEM on VW Tiguan. A busy Uber driver probably goes through a lot of tires and just puts on the cheapest thing possible when needed.
A lot of brands previously considered budget tires are becoming OEM...Kumho, Nexen, Giti, Falken, etc. Automakers want the cheapest tire they can source to keep costs down.
I saw Gitis on a new Passat or Jetta the other day ago. I knew I wasn’t doing a double take. Even Toyota is installing Hankook, my “adopted” mom has Falkens as OE on her Ascent. A friend is actually shocked at how smooth the factory-installed Hankook Dynapro HTs are on his Frontier.
The OEMs made a big deal about validation and NVH with their tires - hence why they would “stamp” their approval on factory installed tires(GM TPC, BMW Star/RSC, Mercedes MO/MOE, Porsche N-spec and Tesla T0).
a Co-worker has a Tiguan with Hankooks on it.
Live near the fancier malls, cinemas and restaurant places in my city.
You would not believe the number of Mercs, Beemers, Range Rovers and Escalades that drive on Nexens and Falkens. Porsche OE specs Nexens as do VW/ Audi.
I have since tried them and find them more than decent. They happen to cost almost 40% cheaper in my size....

Too funny, my co-worker recently bought a brand new Tiguan and it came with Giti tires. He was even laughing about them as he had never heard of them. I have since seen other Tiguans with Giti tires.
You probably saw a 2013, since they all look the same. The new owner probably spent thousands already on maintenance on his 7 year old Range Rover and the Mastercraft tires is all he could afford on a payment plan.
I see older Range Rovers on huge ghetto wheels everyday where I live. You can pick these up for dirt cheap. It's all about street cred.

Nexens are a good tire. I go out of my way to buy them.
I'm wondering if the better tires get put on the vehicles with the better Trim package.
