Tire question

Looking to replace my stock 2020 trd sport tires with all terrain tires. Can someone tell me if 'Cooper Discoverer All-Terrain LT265/70R17 123S' are garbage? From my understanding I can get away with a 70R17 without rubbing but correct me if I am wrong. I don't off road but I do live in the north east and we used to get snow when I was a kid. Also, how much can I expect my MPG to drop switching to an AT tire?

Thanks!

 

With stock wheels, you can size up to the 265/70R17s with no issue. Some run into problems when they get different wheels with varying offsets. Your mileage may vary but these aren’t MPG friendly to begin with. Larger / more aggressive tires = heavier. The rotational mass = lower mpgs. I may not have the exact wording right but the concept is there… I lost maybe 1-2 mpg but my acceleration took the largest hit. Takes time to go from a stop sign or red light. Noticeable difference from stock tires. Can’t speak for the specific tire choice you mentioned though. Haven’t ran them.

 

Size will be just fine. Not able to comment on those tires though

 

The Cooper Discoverer All-Terrains are a Walmart exclusive version (Different Pattern) of the AT3 XLT. The AT3 XLT is a highly rated tire and these are probably cheaper that the AT3 XLT's too. Looks like Walmart has a black Friday deal on them too.

 

I had the AT3 4S and loved them. Obviously not the same tire, but commenting to make you aware of their fast wearing tendencies. I drive very mild and I don’t off-road much. Still only got just over 30k out of them. Switched over to Yokohama Geolandars. Good luck!

 

Man that suck that you only got 30K out of them. I have the Cooper ATP II in LT285/75R16 on and have just over 40K so far. It looks like I can get about 20K more before needing to replace.

 

Thanks gentlemen. 30k wear doesn't seem like much, maybe I am better off going with another another tire.
