Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

I am still working that out. The shop filled them to 38 so i am running that for now. It feels good. The max is 50 I believe. I may have to do chalk test. What are some of other AT3 owners running?

 

I’m running 32 all around and it feels fantastic

 

Sounds good. I may lower mine too and do some highway testing. I think my ride seemed a little harder than before. Then maybe air up the rear a little when pulling my trailer.

 

Yep, I've got a little el cheapo Amazon compressor that works just fine for the task when I'm loaded down but day-to-day same PSI front and rear seems to handle best for me. I target a highway (80mph, 90 degree day) PSI of around 34-35. So beyond a chalk test so long as I'm not seeing more than a 10% increase in pressure when tires are heated up (+ a lb for every 10 degree increase in ambient temp) I keep them as low as I can.

 

@bshammer thanks for your response. I just lowered mine to 32 and noticed a difference immediately. The 38 psi is way to high and I was feeling a little vibration in steering wheel when first starting out and it is gone now. feels very close to stock ride now and I just have to say one more time for those interested these tires so far ride with minimal road noise. Sound the same as stock to me.

 

Yeah mine actually seem to be slightly quieter than the stock Wranglers that came on my '17 OR but still quiet as I could ever expect from a road tire, much less a well appointed AT tire. If these wear well which I'd expect they will they will hopefully shut down the concept that "you get what you pay for, inexpensive tires can't be expected to last..."

 

Did you get 4s or the LTs

 

@montanacruiser Got the LTs

 

C or E?

 

I have the C 6ply
From what I have read here the E 10ply ride hard and are definitely overkill for me.

 

I think the E’s just weigh about 3 lbs more

 

Yes but some were saying they regretted the 10s because of the harsh ride. I dont do any off roading so not necessary for me

 

Another glamour shot just because I love my tacoma and these tires haha. They handle so good and are super quiet on pavement. After about 10 miles of dirt road they only ejected a handful of pebbles once I was back on pavement. And with the 245’s weighing only 37 lbs I notice the difference!

 

Got my XLT’s today! 285/75r16 E load, they look badass and im really digging them. Can’t wait to mount them up after the lift goes on. Paid $745.50 from discount with install but no certificates yet, plus I’m gonna do the $70 rebate through cooper. I’ll be doing a full write up after i put some miles on them.

 

Looks great. Are these 265/70 or 265/75?

 

265/70. stuck with stock size but these are still a bit bigger tire than the stockers.

 

Thanks. That’s exactly what I’m looking for.

 

Just ordered 265/75/R16’s AT3 LT’s from @Discount Tire Direct and should have them on by next Friday. I was waiting for DTD to get them up on the site, they finally put them up yesterday. DTD also beat the price on Tirebuyer. I also got the certs and a $70 rebate.

Solid service from DTD, hope install at local DT goes smooth. Can’t wait!

 

Thank you for the shoutout and for choosing DTD, BortisYeltzen! It's been a process getting the new Discoverer A/T3 versions on the site, but I'm glad they are up!

Thaks again!

 

Not sure if this had been said already, but did anyone notice that the weight ratings for the 4s in 265/75 is 41 pounds, while 265/70 is 42 pounds? Does that seem accurate?
