Hankook ATM vs Cooper Discoverer ATP

Seems like Hankook ATMs get harder and harder to find. I went to a FL Discount Tire to replace one of my ATMs under warranty only to find out none in stock and warehouse was backordered as well. Sales rep said Hankook had them on backorder as well. He checked the country and a few stores had them here and there but they were either on layaway or a customer was waiting for one, two, or three tires to make a complete set.
So he offered me the Cooper Discoverer ATP. I cant really tell a difference because it's only on one rim. But here's some pics. They look almost identical besides the ATMs have more siping. Ive got 26k miles on the ATMs and will probably complete the ATP set when its time. $133/tire is a bargain IMO.

 

I feel your pain with the hankook supply. They were back ordered, with no expected timetable for restocking, when I needed one to replace a cut sidewall. Ended up finding a vendor online that had ONE left.

They told the guys at discount that they wouldn't even call them when they were in. Hankook said discount had to keep calling them every few weeks to find out.

Then when the tires wore out, I tried to order 4 more (different size, even) and surprise surprise, on national back order, with no expected date for arrival. So I'm done with them until they figure out their undersupply issues.

It was a great tire though, it's a shame.

 

I ordered a set of P265/70R17 Dynapro ATM last saturday from DTD and had them on wednesday. I know that you guys don't run that size but I was glad to get them delivered for only $149 a piece

 

I tried to get the Hankooks for over a month. I settled on the cooper ATP. glad I did. it has turned out to be very good in all traction situations and with 5k on them I cannot see any wear. 265-75r16 with 30 psi. smooth, quiet.

 

Got mine in three days as well, 265/75/R16

 

10 days to get my 275/70/17
