Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek

Did you get the E rated (LT) or XL rated tires??

 

XL

 

Cool, thanks. I am considering the XL. Wish they made a C rated LT tire though.

 

How many plys is XL rated supposed to be?

 

4-Ply rating

 

4 ply, just heavier load rating

 

Mtn peaks for the win

 

I have the E-rated 33's, and I honestly don't notice any difference in ride quality from the SL Wildpeaks I ran previously. The weight is lower than most other E-rated tires, bc they're dual ply + an additional layer of reinforcement (according to the Cooper rep).

 

That's really good info, thank you. I keep flip flopping between the XL and E in the 265/70/17. A C rated would be perfect but they don't make a C in that size. So it sounds like the ride quality in the E is still pretty smooth. How big of a hit did your gas mileage take going to the E??

 

It's hard to tell, because I was doing a lot of offroading initially. The past few weeks I haven't been offroad, and the mpg seems roughly the same as with the 265's bc I'm employing some fuel-saving driving practices for the first time (coasting to a stop, not trying to out-accelerate the minivan next to me). I'm just saving that fuel for the weekend excursions to come. If you already drive like you're in a 1997 Buick LeSabre, you might note a ~1 mpg difference.

 

Cool beans, thanks for the update

 

Went to the mountain side with New rims Thursday. What are you guys running for pressure in them?

 

Loving them so far.

 

Awesome truck. Nice to see such a sweet 2016 get some love. OG 3G

 

Thanks. Bought it from my dad. He bought a 2022. It's been babied. 76k miles on it.

 

Are these the FSW wheels?

 

Yes. 17x8.5 0 offset. Sticks out a little

 

Very nice! Exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks for the pics!

 

Unless you spend a lot of time offroad, the XL are more than sufficient. I have 265/70-17 and only saw around a 1-2 drop in mpg compared to the stock Toyo Open Country A30.
