Default Cooper tires in Winter

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how these handle in snow and ice. Looking for new tires for our LR3.
Thanks

I think they do as well as any all-terrain tire. You can probably find a dedicated snow tire that gives a little better grip; but the Cooper will handle rocks, mud, sand....and concrete as well; and that is nice. They are a good tire choice for the LR3.

Thanks for the reply, I'm hoping to stick with one set of tires...I'm sure they will handle better the the stocks on snow!

If you're gonna stick with one set, I'd get the Coops. Goodyear Silent Armors may be another good option. I had the Coops but since I was running two sets decided to get more aggressive when the 32" MT/Rs came out.

I put on a set of coopers the end of this winter and they did better than I thought I get 150-200" of snow. Northern Michigan. You can not run chains on that size.
