Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

yeah i just checked again and they have 285's again in 17, just not 70 aspect, only 75, for today at least.

 

I just bought a set of the XLTs. They definitely still make them in 285s. It was a choice between 285s and 295s for me. I ended up with the 295s though, which is a less common size.

 

Granted I didn't check all 83 pages first (sorry), but any chance there's anyone using these who has also used STT Pro's in the past and can comment on the noise/vibe difference in them (if any)? I currently have the Pro's and I'm looking for something a little quieter and less filling rattling during daily use. lol The pattern on these looks less aggressive, but wanted to see if anyone could chime in with first hand experience.

 

I didn't think the STT Pros were that harsh or that loud. . The AT3 XLTs I have a quieter and maybe a little less stiff since they don't have the Armour-Tek3 sidewalls.

 

BOOM! Ordered yesterday morning at 8:00 from Tire Rack, delivered today at 10:00. Amazing for free shipping!

Discoverer AT3 LT 265/75/16 Load Range C. Replacing the same.

 

These tires bend screws! Didn’t puncture the tire.

 

Any reason you didn’t go with the E load ?

 

No need for E load imo.

 

Makes sense , would have thought a bigger weight difference between the two.

 

I think that depends what you are using the truck for or if you are spending a lot of time on Dirt roads. I think E rated is less likely to puncture and the side walls are usually thicker

 

Sometimes...

 

You are doing it wrong.

 

Are you studding your tires for winter?

 

is that 265/70/16r?

 

Looks like 285/75

 

Speaking of 285/75/16…

I got a set of E load Discoverer XLTs put on this past week, replacing a set of the same size Falken Wildpeak MTs. The Coopers cut down 14lbs per tire over the Falkens and so far the grip, noise levels, and ride are amazing in comparison.

 

I've also recently had to pull a screw out of mine. Ended up causing a very slow leak.

 

I am still completely amazed how well these tires work!

 

How are they in the snow?

 

for me they have been very good, confidence inspiring. but my snow experience is on roads, not off.
