Default Tires

BLUF: are the wildpeaks really worth the extra beans?


Tire choices, including alignment. 265/55-20

In upstate NY. Towing 3k pounds several times a month. May tow 7k soon. No real off-road other than getting to ATV trailheads.

Narrowed it down to Cooper and Falken Wildpeak AT3W 28034021.

Are the wildpeak worth the extra green?

Dealer:
Falken. $1300. No road hazard.

PepBoys:
Falken. $1190. Road hazard and lifetime balance and rotation. I will rotate them most likely other than at inspection time.

Cooper Adventurer AT. Four ply SL. M+S rated. $614. Road hazard and lifetime balance and rotation. I will rotate them most likely other than at inspection time.

Walmart:
Cooper Discoverer made exclusively for them. $600. Then alignment.

Monro:
Cooper AT3 4S. $850 after mail in rebate for one tire.

At that price, I'd get the Coopers.

Will find out tomorrow if the at3w is worth the extra $$$. I ordered and they get installed tomorrow.
I had one set of coopers on a different truck.
No thanks not for me at any price.

I would go to Pep Boys due to the warranty and alignment.

AT3W is usually one of the cheaper ones. I thought Cooper was similar. This seems strange.

Not sure about your local Wal-Mart but I wouldn't trust any around me to even change a light bulb let alone the tires on my truck. Too many horror stories there.
