Best tire for all conditions?

[yrbender]

Getting ready to pull the trigger on the Coopers. 2 question
1. any rubbing?
2. do they have the severe service emblem?

1. Very slight rubbing in the front of the rear wheel wells under extreme full compression while off road (Rock Crawl Mode). Otherwise nothing. No damage caused by it. This is why anything larger than 285/60/18 is not recommended though.
2. Don't know. What does it look like? I'll check.

better link. Had Nokians for winter only on the old allroad, and they're the best snow tires I've yet owned for any car. A wee bit noisier than all season treads, but year-round performance rated with the severe service emblem.

They are NOT severe service rated.

Will they pass a winter tire check point?

I would go with the coopers they will be my next tire I went cheap and put on the avon sst and have been in some deep snow when i step out on the trail i was sinking mid thigh and went everywhere I wanted and even broke the trail for s few guys with the gy mtr on their lifted discos went everywhere they did and did not need to be winched out. I cant say that about one of the other drivers

Whoa there, buddy. Slow down. Punctuate. Help us out a bit! (I got it on the second read, myself.)

I didn't....what did he say? Does he have GY MT/Rs or Avons?

I've talked on here about how awesome the Nokians are too, had em on my p38 RR. Head and shoulders above the rest. Oddly, mine were quieter and smoother than the Michelins that were on it. Probably smoother because they had more sidewall (16" vs. 18"). Still have them if anyone knows a disco or old RR owner that wants em.
