Cooper Discoverer A/T3 megathread?

Just came across this thread, and reminded myself to finally put mine on fs thread.

What's true is true, those AT3s are very good tires!

 

anyone mount up a set of the new AT3 LT's? these: http://us.coopertire.com/tires/discoverer-at3-lt.aspx


i'm actually interested in the new AT3 XLT's: http://us.coopertire.com/tires/discoverer-at3-xlt.aspx
but they don't come in a non-lift size for me. oh well.

i've got a new set of STMaxx pulling so badly i'm replacing them. Cooper will do it with another Cooper tire, but i'm now shy of the STMaxx from this problem (it's been a big ass problem over here). so i'm considering those AT3 LT's in Load Range E, 265/65-17 or maybe 265/70 although i generally don't like that size. just wondering if anyone's run them yet. or have pics?

 

A lot of people have run them, you just need to sort through the pages to see lol. I have the XLT’s mounted and I absolutely love them

 

i'll take a look, i just saw this thread but haven't had time yet. really wish i could get those XLT's in my size tho! not wanting to do a lift right now just for tires. i'm also in Denton btw.

 

Oh nice! What part of Denton? I’m right by the Denton/Corinth area

 

i live just inside the corner of where i-35 and 288 meet. love it there. one of my kids goes to Selwyn so i'm running through your area back & forth every day. i'm in a white MT Pro, 2017, which has been at the shop basically for the last 6 weeks so i'm driving around in a Volvo. lol

 

i'm looking at the AT3 LT's as i mentioned above.

i had a set of STMaxx 265/65-17 on for 30k+ miles. favorite tires EVER! loved 'em. drove straight.

then i got this hardware problem and the truck pulls to the right. fixed the problem, or so we thought, and replaced with a new set of STMaxx, same size, same everything. pulling to the right like mad. Discount Tire Mgr is ordering another set for me from Cooper to try. if they pull then i'll try the AT3 LT's. at least Discount Tire is having my back on this so far.

 

I think I've probably seen you around

 

Installing mine on my Lexus as we speak. Going to have to pick up a spacer for the rear as the offset of the new wheels is a little too much. Other than that very happy with the look. I was concerned they would look too much like an all season given the small size.

just ordered a set about an hour ago!

 

Going to pick mine up now. Dropped off my wheels this am

 

Few pics. Four wheels balanced 3 oz or less. One rim and tire took 8+ oz. tech said it the rim that it balenced good just lot of wait. This is road force balancing also. Not sure if its the rim or the tire.

 

One of my LTs took a lot of weight, they ride perfect though.

 

How much weight exactly? Cause 8oz is pretty nuts for a non MT type tyre unless its the wheel. either way since both have zero miles would like to change out the culprit, be it wheel or tire.

 

4 outer weights and 1 inner.

 

I finally replaced my stock Firestone Destination's yesterday with the Cooper Discoverer AT/3 4S. Went from 245/75/16 to 265/75/16. I got the 116T. Initial thoughts after an hour of driving... it feels a little light on it's feet.. almost a bit squirrely... This is on freeway at 65-75 mph. Anyone else experience this? I'm going to check the pressure this afternoon. It's not to the extreme that it feels unsafe, just doesn't feel like the tires are as "connected" to the pavement. Maybe they just need to wear in a little. Also, I do note a slight increase in road noise from these tires compared to the stockers.
Again, not extreme but I do notice it.

 

i haven't gotten my AT3's yet, but other Cooper tires I've bought are heavy on the manufacturing compound, and it creates the feel you describe for the first 100-200 miles. see how they do over the next week... i bet they improve a lot.

 

just ordered 5 AT3 S4 for my Taco, should be here next week, can't wait to get them mounted..actually paid less than the Falken Wildpeaks which is what I was going to buy..

 

just ordered mine yesterday, the same thing as yours so we will see in the next week or so.
