I've got Cooper AT3 L/Ts on my truck too and I like them. $170 ea at local Dobbs. But Walmart has the Cooper L/Ts (Not AT3) for $40 ea Less. Anyone know anything about the L/Ts and how they compare to the AT3 L/Ts?

I’ve had those before, they are pretty good tires. I think you’ll be happy.
Up here I find that it’s very beneficial to have more aggressive tires even if it means that you need to rotate more often to avoid scalloping issues and they also wear out sooner. You never know when you have deep snow mud to deal with.
Ooh we just hit 3600 wonderful pages of scrounging, whiskey, maple syrup, life, Covid, and Brandon. 
My one truck was in for some warranty work today. I thought it was turning over kinda slow and when I checked the battery the little "eye" was red instead of green. Had them put new one in. About $150 from Ford.
What are they going on? I just replaced the same ones on my Dodge 3500 I always put E rated tires on it . I ended up with Wranglers 309 each plus mounting.
The Coopers had at least 10k miles of life left but the rubber got so hard I couldnt plow with it . Just spun the tires after a while pushing the show . The winter before last I had to buy chains . This year didnt need them
My 13 eff one fiddy 4x4 egoboost. I have dedicated winters so not concerned about snow performance. Honestly I was happy with the Goodyear Wrangler all terrains it came with. I've had several sets of Cooper's over the years (yes I know Goodyear owns them) so I decided to go that way after researching it to death. I can't wait till they're on the truck so I can stop obsessing over them. Lol.

I hate when they do that, I always try to get my tires to that point by thanksgiving and then replace them before Christmas.
When my last winters wore down I ran them all summer.

Here is a couple of pics of my log hauler for the ATV:
Not the best pics, but you get the idea.
I designed it, my friend Harold welded it for me.
Fits under the ATV when the ATV is trailered, and you can pick it up and flip it around if space is tight.

Gave the 026 that started this CAD a little TLC. New crank seals, oil pump pickup hose and feed hose and I cleaned and kitted the carb.
I like it with the 20" .325 for limbing. Don't have to bend over too far. With finesse and a sharp chain it will pull it buried in ash.

You got me excited at 'new tires', only to let me down. Since when has getting new tires meant anything other than getting a new chainsaw? I thought you people spoke English over there.
That's a long night on the road. Did you witness the lady trying to glue her hand to the floor?
You have a really good memory!
A few other thoughts on tires.
I’ve found deals locally from places like Walmart and Discount Tire when they clearance out an old model of tire or don’t have what you are looking for.
I was helping a friend find tires for her car and ended up getting $150 tires for $100 a piece due to them being discontinued.
I walked into a Discount Tire and asked for a certain tire (listed online at $68). They didn’t have those but sold me $90 tires for $68.
Never hurts to ask.

Yes, sort of. We were seated above the other basket and the game was happening at the basket near us so nobody realized what was going on at first. We did see her being hauled/dragged away by security then the game was halted for a few minutes while they cleaned up.That's a long night on the road.

You better be careful, you're "treading" on thin ice with all these off topic tire posts
.Most times I use Costco when buying new tires as they have fair prices, and I compare them to a local wholesaler who does very well on high end tires.
Costco also has one of the best prices on batteries, so much so that you could buy their lowest level membership and still come out ahead on many batteries.
The other thing I like about my log hauler is it keeps the wood (all except the end) clean, so you don't ruin chains when you cut it up back at the cabin.
Two clients sent tax info to me today, one of them has 18 attachments!!! This is in addition to the 3 returns that came in late yesterday that I have not even looked at yet!
I'll be glad when this is over!
Some good news, I may have established a connection to get seasoned Red Oak and Black Locust logs from one of my clients. Not only are energy prices skyrocketing, but one of the largest firewood processors in this area passed away last month, so there will be lots of demand. I used to fix his saws for him, was a real nice guy.

Sounds like a stack of extensions is in your collective future.
Me... bucked the maple and continued with cleaning up storm damage. I've got the debris field down to about a 50 yard by 50 yard area. All the other parts of that property have been cleaned up of fallen pine and ash. There are still 4 trees down and bucked and much of the brush has been cleaned up. Once this is done I'm off to my sons' homes to continue cleaning up ice storm damage there.
Note the mineral staining in the maple. If it wasn't stained I'd have milled it but I don't know what I'd do with stained maple so it's firewood...
