Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires

I'm on my 2nd set on my 2013 Ram 1500. I got 60k on my 1st set and currently have 50k on my second set. No complaints from me, they have served me well.

Had them in a C load range on my F150 and got about 86k out of them which I couldn't believe. Tow occasionally but not much. Rotated religiously every 5k.

Have the XLT version now. So far, so good.

I have them on my Dodge 3/4. I've had better tires for traction and I don't think they'll get the miles that I've got on others in the past.

Be aware that Cooper has a Discoverer ATW for winter conditions. Additional siping, etc for snow and ice.

After a few thousand miles the got really noisy..wore out too fast also...only got 30 k and they were bald..

Big cooper fan here...looking at tires to day load range e ...thinking tire rack dick creek...fun country ..18 32nds ! Made in coopers factory i hear! 16 265 75.....may buy them tomorrow, anit found nothing bad about them yet ,while looking online, i got the high dollar michlens on the truck now ...beware of heavy rain and standing water

Oh yea ..in run the tread down on k20's in less that 2.5 months ...sams replaced them for free..the next week i sold all 4 and got me the milischen skates ...lol...

I am not a fan of Coopers or BF Goodrich A/T's.

I have been running Falkens lately and really like them. Had over 45K and still going on my last truck. Put a set on my new 1/2 ton GMC 3.0 diesel. Only 3K on the latest set but traveled to TX and back just fine and handles fantastic in the snow. I have 10 ply as I tow, and got tired of trashing lighter tires in the mountains and at the ranch.

Have heard good things about Hankook and Toyo.

Ran them for almost 20 years on the Dodge Cummins 2500 4wd - pulled HEAVY loads at times and drove some of the time in big snow and mud - they were dependable and wore fairly well - could not compare mileage because I used none other and tend to replace well before worn down.. The days of the heavy work for the truck are over and it is now in the high desert where there will be little snow or mud - may try Hankook or Falken when next needed.

I'm quite happy with mine. I'll get another set when these wear out.

I put a set of these pieces of [bleep] on one of my F-150s, and in trying to avoid an azzhole who ran a red light they broke loose and I skidded into a light pole. MANY times I've taken that same curve at higher speeds in one or another of my other vehicles with no squirrelyness..
After that truck was totalled I moved the tires to another of our F-150s for exactly 3 weeks until it too wouldn't take off from a dead stop without breaking loose...
Did I mention PIECE of FING [bleep]???

Wouldn’t buy them again. Had them on ‘15 Cummins 4x
They wore out too fast and I had a shake at 75 when cruising on the highway. Wasn’t the wheels and I couldn’t get them to balance.
After hours and hours on the phone and in shop.
Cooper pretty much told me to go pound sand.
My new falken wild peak are wearing nicely, quiet and still great traction off road

I have been running Cooper SST PRO's and I get about 40,000 miles and that is towing, gravel, and mud. Work well in the snow also plus they are E rated.

Interesting - there may be some differences in wear factors and even traction effects among differing styles of the Coopers - but that much difference? Different strokes? Driving abilities and styles may vary greatly, and so ???

Was looking lately, appears that Cooper has dropped the AT/W and replaced them with the AT3 4S. And yes, there are different sub-models in the AT3 line, so you may not all be talking about the same tires.

I put a set of AT3 4S's on about 5k miles ago, I thought they were a good deal. So far so good, we haven't had much of a winter here to speak of this year though so I don't have a lot of experience in the snow with them.

Are they the new version, or are they closing out the old style? The newer version is much better tire! I have a set of AT3 XLT on one truck, and a set of the AT3 4S on my other truck, both excellent tires, probably the best all around tire I've ever owned.

Xlt is just the bigger sizes I think

My FX4 is on its second set of E rated AT3s. First set lasted between 60 and 70K miles. Been all over both Big Bend parks, State and National, including Black Gap and River Road in the National Park. No drips, no runs no errors. I'll get another set if I live that long.

You could probably ask the question about any brand or style of tire and get the same range of responses. Or anything else for that matter, just stay away from religion, haha.
