The Goodyear Wrangler SRAs on my 2002 Sport Trac finally wore out after 9 years - 7 years of full time use - and just shy of 50,000 miles. They took me everywhere I wanted to go (on the road). 12" of snow, no problem. Packed snow/ice, not an issue either. I was bummed that they're no longer available, but I've known that for awhile. I have Cooper Discoverer A/T 3s on my '01 Sport Trac. I have no complaints about them, but I wanted a more highway looking tread on the '02. After much online shopping, I settled on Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. They have the tread look I wanted, the price was right, and they were readily available unlike some of the other tires I considered.
I've had them for 6-7 weeks and have put over 1000 miles on them. These tires are very quiet. The Goodyears were not noisy by any means, but the Enduramax are quieter. Finally got some rain last week, and they were fine, but I just drove across town. They have the highest rating for snow, but of course it's too early for snow here.
The only complaint I have with them is the sidewalls are surprisingly stiff. At 35 psi, they ride like they have 45 psi or more. At low speeds, I feel every imperfection in the road, but they get better as speed increases. At 45 mph, I still feel every expansion crack I drive over, but not the lesser imperfections. At 50 mph and above, they ride smooth and quiet.
