Cooper Discoverer AT3 vs Toyo AT2 (P and LT)

The toyo2 comes in a couple other LT specs as well...

Im looking for a good AT tire with a mileage backing and that isnt too heavy. Originally, i wanted a 255/85/16 tire but there doesnt seem anything offered in that size so im going with my back up 265/75/16

Heard a bit about toyo-AT2's but didnt realize they have a P-rated tire! The cooper tire spec wise seems, at first sight to me extremely impressive for the price!

Hm...I have been tempted to downgrade my E BFG AT's..my back and bouncing tools are begging me to go P. Nice price and FREE SHIPPING! Oh deer...

 

I have the Cooper ATP's from Discount and I like them a lot. Mine are P rated and I run 265/75's. They are nice and light also, about 41lbs.

 

I ran the Cooper AT3 for a few months and it didn't work well for me. Biggest problem area were rough dirt/ gravel roads. Needed to use 4 wheel drive going up hills that I haven't had a problem with using duratracs.

 

My experience with the AT3s is totally different from Ma Deuce. I almost NEVER have wheelspin in all but the slickest conditions and I find they really shine on gravel roads.

BTW, I'm running p rated 265/75s. I think they are just a hair over 40 lbs. 43 if I remember right???

 

well... ha, im probably going to make a purchase sometime over the week end.

Mostly, i hear good things on the coopers AT3 and they are a huge steal for the price (which sometimes scares me in general)...

The weird thing though, treaddepot says the coopers are 38 lbs ... While the Toyo P-version at 41lbs and then the LT versions from toyo being 41-45lbs.

that cooper AT3 even has a higher load index (116) than even the LT toyo2's i linked (6ply)
