SimpleTire’s view on Mastercraft Courser LTR tires
The Mastercraft Courser LTR can be used for covering long distances in relative comfort across not just highways, but also mildly muddy, and other types of roads. These tires can also handle a certain amount of snow, as per their M+S rating. During the Mastercraft Courser LTR tire review, we found its impressive dimensions contributed to a wonderful riding experience. A wide footprint, in combination with a dual tread arc, ensures a strong grip and makes this a great tire to drive off and on the road. While the footprint helps generate a high amount of traction, there are also optimally designed treads here to provide a pattern of gripping edges through a five-rib design for optimal grip. Such treads also enable this R-rated tire to handle well, though it hasn’t been designed for driving at breakneck speeds. In total, we believe that even if the Mastercraft tire brand is relatively new to you, you should select this tire, if its parameters match your requirements.

Put these on my 2004 Titan in 285/17 and I am very pleased so far. Tires look more aggressive in person, a good thing, they balanced well and I have not noticed any real road noise. They work well in day to day driving but have not had a chance to see how the traction in mud or snow is. I expect them to be pretty decent.I run these around 34 psi to get a good footprint. All in all a really good value in my opinion.
Very durable and nice tread depth on them. They also last a long time and can carry a good amount of weight.
Bought these to replace Hankook Ats with 48,000 miles on them. First time it rained I had zero traction taking off from lights. Even feathering the throttle they spun. My wore out Hankook's didn't do this. I hate to think what would happen if I had a panic stop.

I have these on my 1999.5 Nissan Pathfinder SE. This is the second set of Mastercraft Courser LTR's that I've had placed on my SUV. I have much praise for the tires, which are made by Cooper Tires under the Mastercraft label. My only issue with these tires is that on the ones I run on the front of my 4WD tend to experience a bit more wear on the inside edge than usual, but from what I understand that is to be expected on 4WD vehicles. I'll keep placing these tires on my Pathfinder until she dies. They are great!
5th set of tires I've bought from these folks...if your looking for tires, THIS IS YOUR PLACE TO BUY!!! Keep these folks bookmarked. Couldn't be happier with thier service, every set I've ordered has arrived within 2 days
Just recently bought the tires and have shot 5k miles on them. Loving the ride and handling. They are on an 05 Chevy 2500HD. So not a small truck and I do a lot of towing. Add long as they persist as they have been I'll buy another set.
Nice Tires. Very Happy.
Had these for several months and seem to be wearing good
