Do you have Cooper Zeon LTZ or General Grabber AT2 tires?
 
I'm buying new tires soon and I have narrowed it down to the two tires mentioned above, how do they compare in regard to dry/wet/snow/mud traction, and cornering ability?

Grabber 2 here, but only have 200 miles on them. I talked to two friends that have them and they state very good in wet and snow. I also read a ton of reviews at tirerack.com and most are very happy with.

I didn't really check out the Coopers at all, so can't say anything about them.

I looked at a lot of reviews online and they look like the tire to buy, I just placed an order with Sears. One question I have is what inflation should I keep them at? The factory tires were rated at 44lbs. maximum inflation, and the door sticker says put in 35lbs. The new tires I ordered have an 80lb maximum inflation rating, so am I right to assume that I should put in in the same percentage in the new tires, which would be 64lbs? 35lbs is about 80 percent of 44lbs, and 64lbs. is about 80 percent of 80.

I have the coopers in a 305/50/20 and they are a great all around tire. Hardly any road noise, perform pretty good in wet conditions, and off road as well.

Can't say I am an expert on pressure, but have always gone within a few psi of the recommended on the tire. Mine are 35x12.5R18 and max is 50psi. The tire shop I have used for 15 years put about 46 psi when they mounted them

The tires I'm getting have an E rating, so I don't know if max inflation would be cause more wear in the middle. I saw on one of the message forums mentioned putting chalk several places on the tire and driving for a few blocks, and seeing where the chalk wears off.
