Rugged Treks are outstanding off road and in the snow or mud. I was surprised how quiet they are. There is a slight humming, but the ride is smooth and they handle well in all conditions. Absolutely best tire I've ever bought.

[betweenthepines]

Absolutely love my Copper rugged treks. The best RT or AT Ive personally ever used. 37” at 70lbs is respectably light too for D rated. Depth 18/32 tread from new and I can attest to its quiet performance from new. Cant comment on long term yet

Just to update people. The cooper is 3 peak rated (certain sizes), I have a set. I work pipeline construction and see a lot of different driving conditions and they’re holding up. They hum at highway speed for about the first 2, 000 miles. But they’re pretty quiet now or maybe I just got used to them. Overall, I’m pretty happy with them.

A lot of people don't know I didn't know until just a while back that Cooper tires makes Mickey Thompsons and that Goodyear Tire company bought Cooper tires so essentially it's all good year

Bought the Baja Boss 16, 000 mules ago. They ride quiet, no rumble, and unstoppable. Not much snow last winter in southern Idaho but crunched over what we had. Dirt and grafel roads were no challege. Just killed 2 mpgs off my mileage. Ill go to something less agressive less aggressive next time. Thought i would visit Monument Valley and New Mexico deserts tbis summer but still havent done so.

Just got rugged treks for my Silverado. They are so quiet I don’t think I’ll ever get anything else after these. 60k mile warranty too!

How about those Mickeys vs the Falken Wildpeaks??? ... It would make sense to compare a 3-peak tire to another 3-peak tire.

Mickey Thompson tires manufactuerd by Cooper now owned by Goodyear. The the Three Peak Snow Flake tire rating is for tires with rubber compounds suited for temperatures below 40F. Not so good in hot climates. I've run Cooper AT3s, AT3 XLTs, ST Max, and Cooper Pros. Best all around tire for a daily driver is the AT3. Cold weather AT3 4S.

You got me on this one. I just about had my video ready!

Just got the Baja Boss this week coming off of BFG Ko2. So far I've noticed they are louder than the BFG. Have to find the right air pressure, they felt skittish on the highway on a windy day. I wanted a newer design tire with newer rubber compound and the 3 peak was important for me. They balanced well, but did require a decent amount of weights, I can feel the additional weight over the BFG in the drive train and my front bearing started to make noise.. They look great, but still trying to dial in. So far so good.

I have a 2024 Wrangler Rubicon X with XR package. It has the BFG KO2s on it. Those tires suck in the snow and ice here in Colorado. They are three peak rated. It should be three dog turd rated. Are there other three peak tires you might recommend along with the Mickeys? Thank you for detailed videos and insight.

Really would like a set of the cooper. Looks like they just converted the mastercraft cxt over to the cooper name, the cxt was a GREAT tire. Hopefully they expand the sizing soon

The Mickeys on the Mickey Thompson website are said to be an Extreme Hybrid All Terrain. I had placed an order for them, but some BFG KM3s came in first. Surprisingly the Mickeys for 37x12.5r17 was 80lbs. The 39x13.5r17 km3 are 89lbs, so I just went that route.

[huntersturm]

baja boss on my second gen dodge diesel, by far the best all around tire I have ever had, between offroad use and road use. cannot speak on wear yet though. And I have had at least 4 different tires. They tow great too which shocked me

[Steeltoe]

I spoke to a cooper rep...they're in the process of 3 peak certification

[kenahenakew]

Just got a set of the Cooper Rugged Trek, for My Diesel Jeep Grand Cherokee, there actually surprisingly quite on pavement havent tested them yet to much in the mud/snow yet tho

[Dudefromoberder]

The coopers are amazing I’ve done multiple trails in a 14 Tundra. The coopers are available in both a E and SL. The E is not snow rated but the SL is. I run the SL since I don’t haul much weight there are amazing on trails very soft tire big contact patch.

[davidlrogers]

would be nice if you guys stocked Maxxis RAZR ATs which are 3PMSF certified and compare well to these

[melswiber]

I have the Cooper Rugged Trek on my truck and love them. They are actually pretty quiet going down the highway at 75 mph and handle wet roads and rain very well.

In the tire features section when talking about the tread you showed the Rugged Trek while talking about the Baja Boss.
