#Cooper srx tires updateThus far, I am extremely pleased with my decision to purchase and will update my review as time progresses. They outperform the Michelins in Ice, Snow and Heavy Rain but will require some getting used to with spirited cornering as these tires are also 8 lbs heavier than the Premier…but they STICK! To be fair to Michelin…an honest comparison would be with the Defender, not the Premier’s. You will notice a slight loss of performance handling, but a much plusher ride…so if you have an extra 200hp with a Livernois upgrade, these tires are not for you. Unlike the higher performance Michelin…these need a warm up to smooth out.

I had the SRX’s installed and headed North to the UP of Michigan. I’m a road warrior and a “spirited” driver. I was planning on switching to the Michelin Defender as well. Previously replaced the junk OEM Hankooks at 15,000 miles.Īfter reading many, many reviews and being impressed with a set of Cooper AT3’s that I put on my 1999 Wrangler, I thought I would give the SRX’s a try on the Explorer. These tires replaced the Premier LTX that were completely shot after 50,000 miles. 2016 Ford Explorer Sport 255/50/20 with 65,000 miles and 35.1 psi with consistent rotation at 5,000 miles.
