Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

Got my 285/75/16 XLT’s installed today. Haven’t driven on them yet.

 

Amazon had a a good.deal on the old model. I think I paid $119.

 

It’s the only thing keeping me from buying the LT.

 

I am getting some at3 lts mounted right now! Very excited!

 

I got an old style 265/75/R16 AT3 from my local DT for $134 but they also gave me $30 for my unused spare. Thy had to order it though so I’ll get it next week. This way I have a C load spare in the same size and saved a few $.

Also, LT’s getting installed right now.

 

Post up pics once they are on!

 

I believe the non LT’s use a silica based rubber compound that promotes traction, fuel efficiency, and wear resistance. The LT’s use a harder compound rubber that is not silica based.

 

265/75/R16 LT’s in load range C on and stoked! Had them road force balanced and they are smooth and quiet. Drive home from work was about 35 miles of city and highway, everything felt great between 0 and 80 mph. Gassed up and reset my odometer and other trackers to see how they impact MPG’s.

Photos don’t do these justice. They are burly.

 

Those look amazing!

Do they also have the white letters on the other side or are both sides black lettering?

 

Just got a set of 265/75/16 LTs. Stock 2016 DCSB SR5. I absolutely LOVE these tires they look awesome and they ride buttery smooth. I commute 120+ miles a day and i haven’t seen much difference in fuel mileage over the wranglers that were on before. These are much quieter.

 

I talked to a cooper employee about this and they told me that both the LT and 4S have silica but the 4S has a compound formulated for snow performance. They also said that the LT has a little better cut and chip compound.

 

Thanks. Outlined white letters on the other side. See post #333.

 

How are these affecting your guys mpg?

 

@atrain23 I have the exact same truck in magnetic grey, do you have any rubbing issues with that tire size? I have read many comments with those who have TRD OR models but wanted to confirm on an SR5. I can't get a clear answer as to whether or not they will rub from a lot of reading I have done on here. I already removed my mudflaps so that wouldnt be an issue. any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

 

look real good

 

The AT3s 265/70/17 were just delivered and they’re going on Wednesday.

Any recommendations on the PSI that I should run with just driving on the street around town?

 

Ive heard people usually run 32-36 PSI

 

Thanks for the info, I know the tire shop will try to over fill them.

 

tire shop will overfill - mine were at 35 cold which heated up to 38-39 on a hot day on the highway which rode hard as rocks. I'm running mine at 32 front, 30 rear and rides smooth

 

Sig who did you call? I just picked up 285/75/16s AT3 XLTs at don foshays discount tire & alignment in SO Portland. They didn't have these new tires in stock either because of old stock, be he got them for me and price matched what I found them for online and I also got the 70 dollar rebate, that ends in July! I've only got a few miles on them now but they are a hell of a lot better then my Toyos ATs, same tire as you right?
