Buying new tires Memorial Day sales or Labor day sales?

Ditto on the Cooper 3 worst tires I have ever owned great summer tires, gravel roads, or highway driving. The worst tires for snow and ice way too hard I will be going back to my grabbers on my next purchase. Duratrac can suck it to garbage

Interesting on the AT3s...My uncle runs them on a 3/4ton gasser and really likes them.

Lunker, Do you have any thoughts on the BFG KO2s vs the Grabber AT2s?

I had the cooper discoverer's on my '02 half-ton chevy and loved em. That truck with those tires could get around ice fishing a lot of places I thought I shouldn't have been able to. I'll be due this fall probably on my '13 gmc and it looks like I'll have a little homework to do. I will say the road noise on the coopers was pretty loud but I didn't mind because I was impressed the way I could get around

Most guys like the BFG becuase they have a reputation as a good all around tire, others call the grabbers the poor man's BFG tires. I like them over my Cooper at3, Goodyear duratrac so at work our 3/4 dodge has the 10 ply grabbers at2. Absoulety love them on this truck also when you put black letters out you would have a hardtime telling the difference between the at2 and kos2 Also kos and the kos2 are two different tires in my opinion. The kos2 and the at2 tires both have the narrower tread face unlike the original kos.
But whatever you buy when it comes to all terrain tire make sure you get the road hazard lifetime balance and rotation. It's a must for these tires since they have a softer rubber compound that will cause body roll cupping of the tire. It's a must on the at tires when I ordered my coopers at3 I made the mistake of not getting the balance and rotation option. Now I am having issues with tires out of balance from driving gravel roads and driving on rough ice.
I can't stress enough on the warranty options
