Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

Why wouldn't they make a 265/75r16

 

Probably limiting the initial run to common OEM sizes if I had my guess?

 

They do in the LT version. There is a C rated one and an E rated one. Not sure why they don't in the XLT because it's a popular size.

the 4S and XL variants of the A/T3 both have 265/75r16 sizes. The 4S only has a STD rated version in that same size. The XL only has an LT rated version in that size.

I'm assuming that the XLT is not offered in that size due to it being such a heavy grade tire, and will most likely be used on heavier vehicle applications or vehicles that run larger tires.

 

I see the 265/75/R16 LT’s in C in my near future.

 

I see my size I want in the 4s 265/70/17 43lbs too. I can’t wait.

 

You and me both

 

Next OT check might just put a new set of XLT's in 285/75R16 on my F250.

 

4S version is a leading option to replace my original GY me thinks ... 90% on road use

 

I'd like to see these in the wild all mounted up before I pull the trigger.

 

Just bought a set of 265/70-17 Discoverer AT3's a couple months ago. Looks like the 4S is same tread, maybe more siping?
Does look like they fixed the one complaint I have about them...boring sidewall, especially shoulder.
Will have to see one in person before I decide just how much I wish I had held out for these. Wonder how pricing compares?

 

Anyone place an order anywhere? Seems like they are in reseller system. Just don't have a clear availability date.

 

I received an email from cooper saying that the tires will be available to retailers by mid june - early july time frame.

 

Those AT3 XLT's would look awesome on my truck!

 

How are they on dirt? I have a 02 prerunner with a locker. Currently running general grabber at2 have been fantastic on the Forrest/Service roads. These look great and might have to switch over if they are great on dirt.

 

Not available to the public yet.

 

Don from Discount Tire Direct says the XLT tires will be released on June 18th.

 

They are available to order. You just won't get them till after June 18th.

 

Any word on the 4S?

 

Probably around the same time, mid June. That’s the set I’m waitng for.
