High tread wear = hard tire compound, which = a hard ride, poor wet/snow traction but better fuel mileage.
Lower tread wear = soft tire compound, which = a softer ride, better wet/snow traction but lower fuel mileage until around the half way mark.
Pick your poison, but you can't can't have both or I have yet to find a tire that did.
Have owned Coopers, never again at least not on a truck. BF Goodrich is OK but they are owned by Michelin and are just their entry tire IMO. Have also owned Yokohama tires and like Coopers never again on a truck. As much as I hate paying for Michelin's I always end up going with them. I have them on my 2015 EcoD now after trying Cooper's, Yokohama's and the Goodyear's that came on it.
So far after 18 months they are sitting at 10/32 fronts and 9/32 on the rears with almost 32,000 miles but are not very good in 2WD in rain or snow.
