    That RTX by Cooper is highly rated overall including dry, wet, noise, and tread wear. I believe they come with a very decent tread wear warranty. I think they are only sold at a few places like Big O and Tire Kingdom. You might want to consider Cooper AT3. There are three versions of it depending on your use. A better choice imho.

    I looked into the RTX a little while back. Its a Big O/Tire Kingdom/NTB one-off tire. Really high reviews and seems like a solid tire for a reasonable price. If you wont leave the pavement I say RTX or Cooper AT3s like @Grey Wolf mentioned.

    There are three new versions of the AT3. Three different tread patterns to choose from.
