Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

I knew I would so i went with the XLT's and regret nothing. Quiet as can be and look the part.

 

I have BFG's now and don't care for the load range E hard ride. I have to go with 4S to get a lower load rating.

 

Don’t be upset, the 4S is a great tire.

 

What side tires are those? Looks great.

 

Thanks, 265/75/16.

 

Great to hear, I'm looking at the getting the same tires this week. Any rubbing? Stock suspension?

 

Stock suspension. A very small rub on full lock pulling in and out of driveways. Haven’t taken the time to even look where because it’s so minor.

 

I just took my second set of LT Load Range C AT3s off today. Each set started cupping around 35K miles and ended up sounding like a set of super swampers while thinking I had some bearings go out. Took both sets to 45 before switching out. Alignment was always fine when checked, suspension was always refreshed regularly, tires were rotated and balanced, etc.

I needed a tire that was better in the snow anyways.

 

Just had Cooper AT3 4s installed today at DT, 265/75/16.

 

Looking at the 4s. Where did you get them and have them installed? There is no Discount Tire shop near me, I'm in the Miami area.

 

Try Simpletire online and have a local shop install. No Discount or America’s Tire in Miami?

 

The closest is 50 miles away. Too far to go when I am passing 100 other shops.

 

So what did you go with ?

 

Falken Wildpeaks. We'll give them a shot.

 

265 70 16 LT - If you are worried these tires won’t be beefy, enough they look about 10x more aggressive in person. Happy with my choice to say the least and they are running a rebate now as well. Looks like a different truck compared to my stock 245 Firestone’s with 40k miles

 

looking to see pics in this size as well if there’s anyone out there.

 

If you look up @Teksou on instagram he is running 315 XLT’s.

 

Considering going from my cooper ST maxx in 285/75r16 to this At3 XLT in 315/75r16. The XLT in larger size will actually weigh one pound less than my st maxx in 285. I think it could net me better fuel economy as well as I’m geared 5.29 and will lower rpm and be a fraction lighter and more road worthy tread pattern. What do you guys think? Will I be upset when I air down to 19psi for crawling once or twice a year.

 

you will not be upset at all. in fact you'll be quite happy with them and surprised and how well they do wherever you go, and on road they are much better than the Maxx especially on wet tarmac.

i have gone through 2 sets of ST Maxx and am on my second set of LT's E range in 30". i like both, so i let what my tires see every day make the choice.

 

Just a point to bring home on the AT3 as I finally realized why the LT's in this line seem to be lower rated than the 4S and the XLT. Most complaints and poor reviews on the LT versions seem to be coming from those in areas that get decent amounts of snow and ice. Apparently the harder rubber formulation in the LT line isn't good for those two, but every other aspect like wet/dry/noise/off road, etc rate very well.

I was personally focusing on the LT's as they can be had in the 275/70/17 flavor for my 4R.
