New Tires

[cullinan18]

I just bought Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires. They were quiet on the drive home and look great.

Those look sharp. What’s the tread wear rating on those?

I was all set to get a set of these Cooper's in load range "E" but decided to go with the Yokohama G015. The tread seems more amenable to the on road driving we do. My only off roading is gravel and grass. What pressure are you running and how is the ride quality?

Dave the tread wear rating is 620 (65k mileage warranty).

Jason, I usually run my tires near max pressure, as I don't like a squishy ride. I've only got <30 miles on them, but they are quiet and not harsh. Midas installed them and I assume they filled them at around door sticker. I'm grabbing my camper tomorrow and will fill them close to max for towing.

I expect I'll typically run them 40-45 psi (max is 50), which I also did for 52k miles on the OEM Dynapro ATMs. An HT would probably make more sense for me, also, but I love the look of the mild ATs.

I have almost the same tires but they are the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT and love them. If you are looking for an alternative to the BFGoodrich KO2s, I highly recommend them.

I got a fair deal on some Falken WildPeak HT. 02 tires on my wife’s Expy. They have really similar tread to the Michelin LTX defenders, have a 700 tread wear, A traction, B temperature rating. They have that aggressive looking side tread pattern but the quiet and smoothness of a highway tire. So far I’m impressed with them.

I went with these in load range "E" instead of the Yokohama G015 because the Yoko were special order. Been very happy with them so far. Ride quality on the "E" at 45 - 50 psi is comparable to the "C" which I ran at 40 for daily driving. Haven't towed with them yet, but don't expect any worse than the "C" range I had before.

Edited for clarity.

I have the same Coopers on mine. Really happy with them. Had them since Feb 2020.

Towed with the new tires (load E @ 60# in front and 70# in rear) with zero issues and it was snowing. Again, highly recommend the Cooper Discoverer At3 XLTs.

I just experienced some snow driving with these in New Mexico, and snow/slush driving back to Houston. Steller performance. I can't compare to anything, since the prior Hankooks never saw snow, but I had no issues with traction in light snow while in New Mexico, and the tires performed very well during the 12 hour drive home. As bonus, the tires were far more stable at speed. With the Hankooks I had on previously, the truck felt very unstable over 80 mph. I got up to 90 with rock solid handling on these Coopers.
